Something changes in you when you live in a place where everyone hates your guts. Paranoia clenches around you like a vise. That old lady crossing the street? She despises you. You can see it in her glare. She's just waiting for a reason to turn you in. The cops will swagger up to you, every movement semaphores of their disgust. Where are your papers? They'll squint suspiciously. You know all too well what they do to illegals. Even so, it's not the cops that you fear the most. They are still obliged to operate under the aegis of the law. The Crimson Rising thugs have no such obligation. Your ribs are still bruised from the last encounter you had with them, over a month ago now. You doubt you'd survive another. #promotionsoct2014
