The chain-link fence groans, straining under the weight of a shambling, decaying figure. Pale moonlight catches the blotches of rot spreading across his skin, the sharp, artificial scent of pine from the air fresheners taped to his chest barely cutting through the thick smell of decay.

He tries to haul himself up, fails, and looks back at you, waiting, needing you to show him how.
