Weekly Contest #358
The shakes were the worst part. It always happened early in the withdrawal, and each time Viv thought she was prepared for it. Yet when they came, they were sharper than she remembered them. More painful, too. As if every single muscle in her tired, worn-out body was rebelling against her until everything was simply… pain. Even the act of breathing. Ten days. She thought.

The shadows it cast along the treeline were unnatural. Dark, ominous beasts that flickered out of existence the moment they began to turn into something more. Justice watched them, there and gone in an eyeblink, with the same sense of unease as a ferryman that watches a thundercloud.“Morning comes, Truth Bringer.” Marcus said, pulling her from her thoughts. “We must go.” Justic...
