Send me a ☂ to find my character in a dark alley in the middle of a storm, beaten and bloody | accepting
The world was a confusing smear of pain, colors, and a relentless rain. His back was against the wall, legs soaked where they lay on the pavement of the alley. The cold sting of rain felt good against the swollen half of his face, but sharp as needles where it dug into split skin.
Four people had jumped him. One was unconscious or dead, further down the alley, two more had staggered off carrying a third. He wasn't even sure what they'd wanted, two had grabbed him and battle instinct swallowed the German entirely. His left arm was broken, his bad leg was howling in pain, and his glasses were somewhere on the ground, probably submerged in a puddle. He doubted his ability to find them in broad daylight, let alone the pitch black of the storm.
A lightning flash and a slosh of feet through water brought his attention screaming to another human being in that alley, and the revolver he carried was in his hand in an instant. Fritz had no hope of hitting any target in that screaming dark with no glasses, and he blinked through the water that sluiced through his sopping black hair.
