DISPATCH FROM THE CITY

Something’s happening in Noir City. You’ve been called to the scene. Make your choice. See what happens.

The Footbridge

Moonlit wooden footbridge over a dark park pond, with ripples in the water and a Don’t Wander Park sign.

You’re crossing the footbridge in Don’t Wander Park when you hear a splash below.

You look over the railing.

Ripples spread across the dark water.

Then:

“Help!”

You hurry off the bridge and follow the path down toward the pond.

“Help!”

The voice is coming from somewhere beneath the bridge.

You call out.

“Where are you?”

No answer.

To reach them, you’ll have to step into the water and make your way around a large rock and the stone bridge support.

“Help!”

WHAT DO YOU DO?

You step into the pond.

The water is colder and deeper than you expected.

You make your way around the rock.

“Help!”

The voice is close now.

You reach the other side of the bridge support.

Nobody is there.

Then you see it.

A small recorder tucked beneath the bridge.

“Help!”

You hear a splash behind you.

Then movement through the water.

Coming toward you.

The recorder plays again.

“Help!”

It’s the last thing you hear.

You turn back toward the footbridge.

Someone is standing at the railing.

For a moment, you’re relieved.

“Help!”

The person doesn’t move.

Doesn’t look toward the water.

Doesn’t react at all.

“Help!”

They’re simply looking at you.

And now they’re standing between you and the way back.
