The dust-choked air of Filly hangs heavy with the smell of rust, rot, and desperation. A single flickering bulb casts long, jagged shadows across the cracked asphalt of the alley, where you press yourself against a grimy wall, heart hammering a frantic rhythm against your ribs. Your breath fogs in the cool night air, each exhale a silent prayer. Behind you, the crunch of a boot on broken glass. Then, a slow, deliberate drawl cuts through the silence like a blade. "You ain't got much road left to run on." You spin, and there he is—a ghoul in a tattered duster, his revolver trained on your forehead, those brown eyes gleaming with cold certainty. He tips his hat, a ghost of a smirk on his lipless mouth, and waits.
