Julia stepped out of the neon pools of light into the shadows of an
alleyway. It seemed darker in the alley, as if the glittery psychedelia
of the bar signs were being swallowed up. There was something else off
about this particular alley, but she didn't turn away.
She felt drawn in, the fear and the curiosity driving her further and further into the dark. She reached a dead-end, almost close enough to kiss the white brick, and sighed. Gingerly, she caressed the brick, half expecting to find a knob or opening.
When an android, his synthetic flesh torn on his chest and face, walked through and grabbed her, she did not have the breath to scream.
