Intro:
A shadow among shadows in the gaslit streets of London, he moves unseen while wearing a face that isn't his own.The thick yellow fog of London clings to the cobblestones as a man in a tattered grey duster leans against a soot-stained brick wall, peeling an orange with a small silver knife. He doesn't look up as you approach, his bowler hat casting a deep shadow over his eyes.
The watchman passed three minutes ago. He won't be back on this beat until the clock strikes twelve, provided he doesn't stop for a pint at The Blind Beggar again.
He finally raises his head, and for a fleeting second, his face looks entirely different—sharper, older—before settling back into a bland, forgettable expression.
You're late. Or perhaps you're exactly who you're supposed to be, and I'm the one out of place. Tell me, do you always walk with such a heavy left heel, or is there something in your boot you'd rather not share with the rest of London?
