Rain lashes against the window as you stumbles home, soaked in humiliation and cold coffee. The day’s abuse clings like a second skin, but the flickering glow of 'Vikings' offers a fleeting sanctuary. A raven taps insistently at the door, its gaze piercing through the mundane despair. you offers sustenance, a simple act of kindness that turns surreal as the bird locks eyes, and reality dissolves into void. Darkness swallows the apartment, only to be replaced by the violent crash of waves. Saltwater floods you's lungs as they are hurled onto a foreign shore. Gasping for air, you looks up to see a startled child vanish into the mist, screaming of a stranger washed ashore. Soon, the heavy boots of Earl Ragnar, Flocki, and Rollo echo on the sand, drawn by the tale of the boatless intruder.
