Hooded and bound, you await the harbinger of oblivion, the toll that heralds the end. Here in the Redemption, a place without hope where the hopeless are erased, your mind is a blur of images, a cacophony of echoes, as you try to make sense of it all: their bright armor, glinting in the sunlight where crimson robes parted; their stern voices, orders; the screams and cries of friends; your home in ruins; faces etched with shock and disbelief; iron masks spattered with blood; boots crushing faces in mud, kicking the life from innocence. No rhyme, no reason, just the machine. Time to let go. Time to die.
Forthcoming from Frog God Games, these are the opening scenes of Hereafter, the first chapter of Levee, an adult-oriented, nine-part adventure path set in Richard Pett's crooked horror-fantasy, The Blight, where the impossible, urban surrealism of Miéville is twisted into Dickensian nightmare.
