Okay, this is just an introduction to a story/video game/ movie.
The question I have is: Would you go and find Carl Rueben?
Relativity
The City Between
Relativity is a small part
of the city. It is located on an island in the middle of this metropolis. After WW2, the
government set all kinds of underground passages and safe rooms. The island was to
be a place of refuge in case of a nuclear war. It was to be a kind of underground
city. The project was abandoned soon after completed as ten percent of the
people who went to the island were always lost. Another 1 percent disappeared.
The one or two of that one percent who disappeared for a time returned.
The ones who
returned gave a tale of walking through doorways and ending up in other places
and times. The only people they meet along the way were the dead, the lost, or
the insane. No doorway took you back the same way the only way out was forward.
The only road that was safe was Bakker Street which crossed the whole island
and took the bridge out of the city. Once across the river, the people were
safe.
The city is run
down though people still live there. Things disappear all of the time,
especially food. Nothing a person lays down is safe. Most people think the
island is haunted, the ones who returned tell a different tale, the lost people
take it. It is also said that if you climb through a doorway you may end up
going down. The ones who returned said they learned to never leave a doorway
completely unless they knew it was safe. The final disturbing bit of
information was that doorways were not always what they appeared.
Carl Rueben an eccentric
older man goes to Relativity every week. He never strays far from Bakker street
and is known to leave food, and all kinds of supplies there. Last week, he
disappeared after reportedly being dragged into an alleyway by a group of
young men. The police caught a couple of the gang. When interviewed they said
he ran off and they lost him. They claim he took something of theirs, but they
won’t say what it was.
So, do you want
to go find Carl Rueben? His wife has placed a reward for his return or proof of
his demise. The reward won’t make you independently wealthy, but you could pay
off everything and you could take that yearlong cruise you’ve always wanted to. Just to
find one man. You’ve never like Relativity, but…
