NATE
I always thought that I’d die young
make some money, be someone
make some money, be someone
The drainage canals aren’t exactly bursting with activity at any point in the year, but especially not now. Too close to the flood season for anything to have dried up, but Nate is teetering on the edge of desperate. Having to support a second person with nothing else changing isn’t exactly something he’d been prepared for, and his savings are taking a hit.
There’s one thing the low, murky water is excellent for though, and it’s what paints the doctor as a fisherman instead. His pants are naively rolled up well above his knees, as if he’s not soaked up to his scalp. The fruits (fish) of his labour hang in a bag suspended on some tall, jagged bit of rubble, weak flailing making the fabric writhe.
Wading back to the shadowed muddy shore, Nate lets out a breath and looks around. Quiet has a habit of attracting a certain kind of person in the Drench, and he’s not about to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. He hadn’t seen any worse than some teens making deals earlier, but that doesn’t mean his luck won’t shift.

they all love you when you’re gone
but who knew life would be so long?
