Swallow the Dark

Some would call you a cowardly recluse, others would say you're selfish scum. You might be both. But why should you put in the effort to be something else? You don't have much time left, anyway. You're a former field agent for the Main Bureau for Public Security (Control and Guidance Unit) and you used to deal with the more...unpleasant things inside the city of Serga. It's true that you never were the next in line for a promotion, but you were doing fine. You made sure to finish the job and that was good enough. At least until that day, when you found out what price you'll have to pay for your uncommon constitution, on which you depended in the field. So you ran. You tried to leave. A pity, really. Now, after almost four years, the past still clings to you in more than one way. You're tired and almost ready to give up. Then, one night, your phone rings. And you pick up. Do you still remember the promises you've made?
