So, Silent Hill was a bust. In that it didn't exist.

Ashfield, she's found, is in the same boat. The same not-existing boat.

This world SUCKS.

Now, Laura has siezed on a new plan: go to the closest city she knows of that HAS to exist.

There's a New York City everywhere, right?

This requires more walking, of course, but that's nothing she hasn't done before.

And there were a few intact stores on the way. Hooray for new underwear!

"Um... the trees are kind of moving..."

OK, more than kind of. Trees normally move in the wind, or if something's in them. They don't... walk.

Valerian blinks.

"What sort of moving?"

Should they run away? Or investigate? Both are tempting. . .

The sort of moving that leads to SPIKES OF POISONY DOOM SHOOTING AT PEOPLE!

"KIIIP!" The little blue creature tackles Laura just in time, the spines zhiffing past and piercing a boarded window above.

All Laura manages is a shriek as she falls.
