Cinnamon Swirl - Smoke & Mirrors (Sethan's Pocky Chain)

This way?

Yes.

Sethan turns the corner, hands in hs pockets, shoes scuffling at the cobbles. He kicks a loose pebble and watches as it goes skittering across the street.

A body shuffles along behind him, head bowed, hood drawn. Its bones creak and crunch, and its limbs sway and shoulders slump, and every now and then there is the soft thump of flesh on flesh as some part of it slides and settles a little lower on its frame. No one ever gets close enough to notice, so it serves its purpose well enough.

An eight-year-old can't travel alone.
