You are on a bridge a meter above a fast moving river. Thick steel frames with large rivets suspend the bridge. A pair of shoes dangle from a cross beam above. Power lines run to the side of the bridge. There is an abandoned van.
Water-logged debris idly bob or float by in the river.
- You can see there are hundreds of them. Three come, then nine, then twenty-seven. Each wakes another, which wake another—everyone south of the border, north of the river. Many encounter your jeep. It shouldn't be here; they knock at the windows, shattering a few. The vehicle rocks. What is it doing here?
Since your last turn:
- • Groans drown the sound of the current. It is all that can be heard. (2 seconds ago)
Possible actions:
- Let them pass, please...
Inventory:
- You carry only a whistle, a bent knife and a smashed radio. It has been a long ride. Your blue jeans are shredded; the T-shirt, stretched 2 sizes larger, is more red than white, and your shoes are unaccounted for. Overtop it all you wear a yellow rain jacket. Perched atop your head is a crumpled paper party hat.
