The sun is a pale smear behind gray clouds, casting a sickly light over the checkpoint. The air reeks of diesel, sweat, and rust from the barbed wire that coils atop the fence like metal thorns. A low hum of fear buzzes through the queue—a line of tired faces, each one praying their scanner beeps clean. A man ahead of you is dragged past, his screams cut short by a single, final crack from behind a partition. The guard spits, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He turns, his eyes locking onto yours. “You! Next citizen, step forward!” He raises the scanner, finger resting on the trigger. Your heart hammers in your chest as the device glints under the dull light. What will it find when it touches your skin?
