Standing guard at the wall is the most honorable position in my village, besides the leader. The training is rough and strenuous. I made it through, though, and now I am here. The youngest Wall Guard. A knife, gun, and an assortment of weapons handy to me. There is a vast forest and plains beyond the Cement Wall. What lives there no one knows. All we know is that every night there are inhuman howls and screeches.
