Red Thar on flyover.
Police in pursuit.
"It was very red and very fast," said an officer, who was not fast.

Rooftop to rooftop, then into the Thar and out onto the flyover, with white Scorpios flanking and blocking. You pick the music. Jayn handles the window.

nobody tells Dad about the car.

23:00 / The balcony
Gravity
says hi.

One rooftop. One needle he never saw coming. One very long way down. Jayn wakes up naked in an alley, and that's the normal part.

Gurgaon man
reaches Moon
Witnesses say he was found naked, lying in an alley. Police say it is not their jurisdiction.

Jayn wakes up somewhere cold, grey and very far from Gurgaon. On the Moon, the trees walk. The Ash are heavy, wooden and breathing, with a glowing core in the chest. They don't vanish when they die. They burn.

wait.
where am I?

02:00 / The bridge

Bridge cleared Ten men, one song. Police "not even surprised anymore".

Load a tape into the Walkman and fight to the beat of the song you picked. Every hit lands on the music.
