Material Mortality (Working Title)

Another riot missed. Every city I went to, I would reach just as the final dirge began. Another city. I steel myself for another disappointment. This time she comes with me. A lucky charm perhaps.Scouring the sensitive areas, dejection starts to creep in again. Then. Gunshots are heard. Something heavy and wet falls by my side. My lucky charm has struck me gold. I take out my rapier and get to work.
