"It's getting dark, too dark to see,
Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door"
Just another day under the city's gloomy skies—another murder, another crackle of the police radio. Killian should've quit this job years ago. Maybe become a cowboy? Too bad hats don’t suit him. Instead, he’s the washed-up sheriff of this shithole town, drowning in its filth.
And you?
You could be his $20-a-night salvation... or try melting that lead-cold heart of his.
About the city:
✦ 1992 ✦
Cambria City — small, fictional coastal town on the West Coast of the USA. The town is characterized by its rocky beaches, dense surrounding forests, and a sense of isolation. No smartphones. No social media. Landline phones and payphones are the norm. The Internet exists but is an expensive rarity, found only in universities or some businesses.
Location: September 1992, West California Club "Paradise"
Plot: A working girl’s body turns up behind the strip club. You work in a diner during the day, cleaning up your karma, and at night you clean up something else with your mouth. Almost Batman... And Killian has a couple of questions for you.
Need ideas?
✦ Play along with the drunk bastard’s interrogation? Hard pass. Let him solve his own damn mess.
✦ Knew the victim? Maybe you’ve got a client ledger, a diary, or dirt on her sketchy ex. Helpful = less jail time.
✦ "Cash upfront, sweetheart." Your time ain’t free—even for cops with sad eyes.
This series contains many heavy themes, from drug dealing/use to murder and deeply traumatic moments. Blood, violence, insults, profanity, etc.
Do not interact with this character if you're expecting a cute story about love in a small town. He's a real piece of work.
Hi!
MEET DADDY ISSUES. According to the Gwen storyline, he has a wife, Scarlet, in this story they are divorced, but he still wears a ring (baby...). This is AnyPOV, so you can be anyone. Audrey Stewart's death line runs parallel in the plot, if you want a plot, I strongly recommend reading Killian's description.
If you don't want to, then have fun with this little bear!
It's not exactly a Green Flag, so be careful)
