Once he arrived home, he grabbed a glass of water from his kitchen and stared out the window of his living room. The window was large, almost the entire wall. Looking up, the stars were near non-existent, as the lights of the city were brighter and overshadowed the stars. At the corner of the room and edge of the window sat an acoustic guitar, covered in dust. He had an urge to play it but, he hadn't played in years, so he forgot.
As he walked to his bedroom to get his first night's sleep in ages, he turned on the radio. As he laid on his bed One More Time By Daft Punk began to play. And soon after, he fell to sleep.
The next morning, after taking a shower, got dressed and headed downstairs. Upon reaching his motorcycle, he proceeded to ride it into the abandoned part of town. Where he would scavenge for things.
After wandering around for a little while he saw a shop that caught his eye. Shaw's Aerodynamics read the sign above the door. Yon entering, he saw a newspaper, covered in dust on the counter. It's headline read "Run and Hide: the Blitz Begins!". The headliner told of a rising crime syndicate going on in town, and how small parts were being mysteriously taken out.
Next to where the newspaper had laid, was a map of the subway system with closed tunnels circled in red ink. Off to the side, also in red, we're the words "They must be here!" In near non-legible handwriting.
He turned around and began to look through the shelves and boxes in the shop. Oddly enough, he found a box of records, old music that had obviously been here longer than anything else. But why here? Why in an aerodynamics shop? He looked through the records until he found one that interested him. The cover was black with a white heart on the front and was completely blank on the back. Inside was a piece of paper and a cut out newspaper article. The article read "The New Metropolis of a City Opens!"
He then looked at the piece of paper that was beside it. It had nice handwriting on it but some words worn away by age. After reading it it seems to detail the predicted crime rates for the city, which even now, are severely inaccurate. The crime rates couldn't be higher for this city. Not now, not ever.
