Jon looked up for a moment. He had been lost in the story between the pages and forgot about his own current situation. Then he looked up and realized the power was still on. They always shut down the power by now. He ran to the window and saw that only a few other living quarters with their lights on. It was lights out time, but Jon’s were still functioning.

“It pays to obey, I guess,” he muttered to himself.

Realizing the hour, Jon tried to get some sleep, but he found himself restless in his bed. He bunched up the blankets and then tossed them to the side, only to retrieve them and bunch them up again. He broke out in a sweat, got lost in a song stuck in his head and then had a panic attack.

He just couldn’t sleep.

Jon stood up from his bed and went to the window. He starred at that poster across the street. It flapped and swayed in the gentle night breeze. Jon could only behold how atrocious the thing was. Ugly colors, ugly people and an ugly message were all Jon could see.

“Forget this,” he said to himself.

If he couldn’t sleep he was going to see just what the boundaries on his newly acquired status were. After all, he had a job to do, a mission to accomplish, and what better time to do it then when the entire city is sound asleep?

Jon grabbed his jacket and headed for the stairwell. He had plenty of time to consider where to go on his descent to the bottom of the building. He decided he would begin his assigned task on infiltrating whatever it was he was supposed to infiltrate and get the names of whomever he was supposed to get the names of.

For the all-authoritarian party that was ruling the city, their orders were pretty-vague and unclear.

Jon wondered around on the cold, dark streets for at least an hour. It was eerie to be in the dark, black, lightless shadows of those towering skyscrapers. There was nobody around to even consider ignoring as they walked by. It was just Jon, the lifeless buildings and the grid system. Something caught his eye. He couldn’t believe he never noticed it until now. Then again, there was probably never a reason to notice it. It didn’t matter what street Jon looked down, he saw the same thing in every direction.

Blocked.

At some point, on every street, the walls had been raised in the labyrinth. He could not see the entirety of one single street. They went for a few blocks before those massive walls stood in the way. If only one thing could make him more uncomfortable than the eerie quiet of the dark, creepy streets, it was this.

Trapped.

There was nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide. And that made Jon want to run and hide. The buildings were creeping up and closing in on him. There was no way out of this city. Jon couldn’t even escape on foot if he wanted to.
