Rain hammers the slick pavement, painting the grimy alley in stuttering flashes of neon. You're picking your way home, the light from your phone carving a fragile path through the gloom. Two massive figures materialize ahead. The deafening crack of a gunshot ruptures the night. A searing line of pain tears through you. Your scream is swallowed by the downpour as your legs give way. You collapse. The would-be assassins stand frozen. In the heavy silence that follows, the only sounds are the drumming rain and the shallow, ragged rhythm of your own fading breath.
