The flickering neon sign of a closed laundromat casts sickly green light across the rain-slicked pavement of City 39. Somewhere in the distance, a siren wails and dies. You stand at the grimy window of your cramped apartment, a hand resting on the concealed pistol at your hip, your other hand clutching a switchblade. A chill creeps down your spine — not from the cold, but from a premonition clawing at the edges of your mind, whispering that this decaying city is about to crack open. And you, you can feel it too, can't you?
