The docks smell of brine and rust under a bruised purple sky. A lone streetlamp buzzes, casting a jaundiced pool of light on the wet concrete. The Deep, in his green suit, leans against a shipping container, watching you from the corner of his eye. The water below slaps rhythmically against the pilings, matching the beat of his heart. He runs a hand through his brown hair, stubble catching the light, and pushes off the metal. "So.. it's a nice night, isn't it?" he asks, stepping closer, a crooked smile playing on his lips. The question hangs in the salt air, waiting for your answer.
