The Forsaken Entry #14

The clouds overheard started to drizzle softly on the pot hole riddled alley. Glancing up, Tomio scowled as he searched the alley, seeing a open door leading to a hallway with white walls and orange carpet.

"It'll keep me dry if nothing else.." Tomio sighed as he slunk away from the rain.

Once inside, Tomio casually walked through the hallway, reading a sign about a sale, as he bumped against something.

"Sorry about that." Tomio absent mindedly started as he looked in front of him, seeing a woman in a blue dress passed out on the floor. to her left was a brown paper bag with various packets and cans strewn over the floor. "Suishou will forgive me.."

"It seems we reached a impasse." The spectre slowly rubbed its head. "we both want the food, and we aren't backing down..."
