" last night "

"Windham,

Last night was wonderful. I am right at this moment imagining your arms around me, and your breath on my neck. I feared for our lives when your fellow Overseers found us, but you proved resourceful as always. And no, I won't take your slurs and threats personally, for I know you were merely trying to throw off any suspicions they might have had of us. I hope to see you again soon, perhaps in two nights when you have leave once more.

A glimpse into the lives of an ordinary Watch officer and overseer reveals that they are anything but ordinary. In a city plagued by crumbling infrastructure, corruption, crime, and a literal plague, luck does not seem to be on their side. But luck is exactly what unites them in the ruins of the once great city. Luck, along with a bit of swordsmanship, is what keeps them alive.

(This is my first published work anywhere, not just Wattpad. I apologize in advance for the odd formatting of the chapters; when I first wrote this, it was just something I did for fun in my notes to let my friends read and critique my overall writing. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy. All chapter artwork was drawn by and belongs to me.)
