Void Town Saga - Warehouse Chapter
Gill guided me to a street with a big door. It had a big valve in the middle instead of a doorhandle. He pushed it open. Inside the lights were very dim. There was nothing else besides a huge pile of stuff. What kind of stuff was too dark to see. "Take one," he says. "What," I think. I walk closer to the stuff. Him too, he picks up some of it and shoves it into his jacket pocket. I looked at it more closely, bending down a bit. They're cigarette lighters, mostly, but here or there some TV remote controls. I looked around, half-confunsed. "Here." He hands me one. It has some kind of drawings on it but it's too dark to the them. "Do you want another one?" "Yes..." I say instead of "What for?" I stared at the lighter and put them in my pocket. I froze and took another look around. Then I asked "What is this place?" "This place? It's the warehouse." I stared at him. "Why did you bring me here?" He was slightly surprised. "I thought I'd show you around. Thought you'd like to know where some places were, some spots..." Would I? The matter-of-factly way he answered made me feel stupid for asking. "...Thanks, I'm... grateful," "Don't mention it." Should I ask the obvious? "...Where did all this come from?" "No idea." "Do you come here often?" " When I'm in the area." A bit of silence. "Maybe take one more, you never know how full they are." I looked at him lost. He seemed to know what he was talking about. I thought for a second, then bent down wordlessly and put another lighter in my pocket, a blue one. He started to turn around towards the door. I followed him.
