When Grady wakes he’s lying, shirtless, on a scratchy cot. His throat is dry and his eyes burn. Above him, instead of a rocky ceiling, there’s only a muddy sky and clouds the color of burnt wood. He coughs and leans out of the cot.

“He’s awake,” someone says. “Get Res,” says another. Soon there’s a swarm of people jostling around Grady. Young people. Old people. Men and women and kids. None of the kids have their heads shaved. None of their arms have bandages. All around, as far as Grady can see, there isn’t a single guard. “What is this place?” he asks.

A hand grips his shoulder, the fingers wrapped in dirty fabric, the nails caked with soil. The hand is attached to a sunburnt arm that disappears into a blue shirt. Above the shirt is the smiling face of a sweaty young man. “I’m Reslo,” the young man says. His gray eyes look too large for his narrow head. “Welcome to Ferin City.”

Something shudders through Grady, like a drill bit spinning free. This young man, there’s something familiar about him. The wide-legged stance. The oversized shirt.

This is the bastard who shot him.
