Marcus ran as fast as he could across rooftop after rooftop, then down into the city streets. His Gravity-Sinks were nearly filled to capacity. He would not be able to evade Morley much longer.

His teeth were bared, his face slick with sweat as he sprinted up a street lined with squat, stone buildings on either side. There was no one in sight, nowhere to turn for help. He was alone. And the thudding of Morley's heavy footsteps filled his ears.

He turned around to find that demon of a man a mere twenty feet away and loping up the street without the smallest sign of exhaustion. Morley pulled a stop in front of him, and a grin split the man's face. “Finally decided to stop running and take what's coming to you, huh?”

Marcus backed away.

“Oh, don't be shy now,” Morley said, shaking his head. He came forward with the cautious movements of a predator could all but taste its cornered prey. “Ain't nobody here to see your shame. Might as well get it over with.”

Marcus shut his eyes, a single tear rolling over his cheek. “May the blessed light of Mercy welcome me home,” he whispered. “Let my sins be forgiven. Let my failings be absolved. I walk into this new life clean.”

“Your heathen god can't save you, son,” Morley said. “No one can-”

The man shrieked as he folded up with a hand on his belly, and black blood slipped through the cracks between his fingers. But how? Marcus didn't stab him or shoot him.

Morley began to cough, and each spasm of his body produced a stream of black blood from his lips. The man sank to his knees, gasping. What was going on here? Had Mercy decided to intervene? Did she hear Marcus's prayer?
