Last Bullet

Young one, you have reached the end of the line in both your Path and your reality. Hiding in the shadows, your wounds only sharpen your ragged breathing, making you all the more exposed. Who prowls through this city? Is it the slithering serpent, or the blood feud that slaughtered families? The maniac who summoned nightmares from the mirror? Or perhaps the Aberration shaped by everyone's fear...
Time seems to intersect at this moment. Between what has happened and what has yet to occur, your gaze finds a straight trail cutting through them all, connecting countless dots into a single line. Is this a quest for vengeance, blood for blood? Or is it justice sought for another? Staring at the blurry figure approaching, you have already cast aside the reason you came here.
You take a deep breath and align your barrel with the long stretch of time. Then, you fire the destined bullet.
