He had killed his own son.
Sure it was an accident, sure he didn’t mean to do it. But when did that ever matter?
Sol.02 – The Great Levi Forward
10 Years Ago
——-
Levi Prime stood in the middle of his lounge room, a multitude of bruises beginning to bloom about his body under his outfit.
Sol.03 – Beginning Anew
The Seeker.
That is what Levi Prime had called him. It had been months since he had been given that name and it had stuck in his brain. He didn’t think of himself as Levi, that felt like a stranger, a particularly vivid dream.
Sol.04 – The Hunt Is On
I had been sitting there in the dark for almost an hour now, the night outside casting lurid shadows.
Sol.05 – The Seeker Seeking
Seeker was regretting ever being born into this world. He was clutching the side of the building and his head at the same time.
Sol.06 – The Barley Boys
Turning left coming out of the Loaded Run, ducking down one of the many unnamed alleys I hoofed it along its dank depths. I don’t like to think I am a paranoid man but I take care of myself.

Sol.10 – House Of Levi
10 Years Ago
It was stupid early in the morning as Steve né Levi and Seeker made their way through the cool air to the House of Levi.
The Seeker felt vaguely excited, he tried to not think that this was because he was working on his Mission. He had even managed to hold himself back on the booze and was only nicely drunk unlike Steve who was occasionally having to get very friendly with walls to keep himself going.
They made it to the House of Levi and Steve took the lead, knocking and holding what he must of thought was a……
Sol.11 – Concentration
Present Day
Trying to not stagger too obviously as I passed the Immortal Man, I left the Rusty Duck to head home. The night’s evening air was doing its best to sober me up but I was too far gone. The guilt was burning in me now along with the booze. I had made my choice. A part of me whispered ‘you can’t keep lying to yourself.’ I hated that voice.
It must have been because I……
