Searching for A Coffin

[interviewee]

[To his alarm, Louis woke up in a bed--- A bed--- with light streaming through the windows. Stripes of bright light burning up the side of the sheets on his bed. He tries to sleep through the pull of the sun, but the threat of it peeling away skin has Louis keeping close to the inside wall.

Only after the sun dims over the horizon does Louis leave his apartment. He desperately needs a coffin and he can't go another dawn cycle without it. He needs to find a 24/7 place that sells coffins. He doubts he'll find one, but that doesn't stop him from trying.

He's looking through the store directory when he turns and accidentally bumps into someone.]

Sorry, I was absorbed in what I was doing.

Midnight Meal

[interviewee]

[Louis has gone without eating for almost twenty-four hours and the dizziness and yearning for some blood. Based on a map he saw, there are wilderness areas that may allow him to drink from animals. So he makes his way through Sunwaning to the bridge and immediately he finds rodents similar to those back home.

He drinks one after another until he hears footsteps behind him mid-meal.

He pulls his lips free of the creature and blood drains down his chin.]

This isn't what it looks like.

Pending Sunrise

[interviewee]

[Without a coffin in hand, Louis has to hurry through the last couple hours of being awake. He's trying to buy a newspaper from a vendor who just ditched their supply of the day before. Louis sighs,] I just need magazine, a newspaper, something.

[And the pressure of the rising sun makes him more and more irritable.]
