The morning mist clings to the high street as Jack and you haul up the heavy metal shutters of SwapNest. The clatter echoes against the neighboring storefronts. Inside, the air is still and cool. you flips the switch, and fluorescent lights hum to life, followed by the soft thump of morning radio. The counter gleams, ready for the day’s trade. Outside, the city begins to stir, unaware that within these walls, transactions of value and debt are about to begin. The clock ticks toward 9 AM.
