This is my entry into the SA Challenge-as well as my first entry into *any* of CG's challenges. I had loads of fun, learned quite a bit, and realized how much more I need to keep learning!


Story:
In the dark of the night, there waits a chilling realization within the stairwell of an abandoned hospital. Just cleared for demolition, all of the lead based debris that once coated the halls were removed from the rotted, warped floors. All of the equipment left behind now removed to the appropriate place rather than in a building still tainted by death and decay.

The light from the streetcorner streams in, highlighting the remnants of many years' worth of maintance, glistened upon a few, new decorations of crimson. The demolition crew had the shoplights lit on the rooftops in the hopes of avoiding night-time visitors.

There in the silence, is an addition to the decades of deaths passage within these halls. The Yakuza, gifted with elemental technology, walks away from the encounter one enemy less than he started the day with.

Death, as in life, remains unforgiving and blind. Not every 'good guy' wins the day, and not every 'bad guy' goes to jail.
