The suffocating fabric of your gown clings to your skin, heavy with sweat. You run, legs pumping, the image of your small shop, your livelihood, being destroyed fueling your speed. It was everything you had earned, built with so much hope. You had to stop them.

"Ho Blair! Wh're are you rushing to?!" Mrs. Wright’s voice shouts behind you, her hand raising a bag of mud you’d asked for.

“Not now, Mrs. Wright!” You don’t stop, racing towards the market. A crowd has gathered, a dark knot of people around where your shop should be. Your speed falters. "What's happening here?!" you yell, and all eyes turn to you. Pushing through the bodies, you see it – your carved sculptures, shattered into countless pieces, scattered on the ground. At the corner of your stall, your little brother, Mason, weeps, his hand-catapult dropped near his feet. A chilling silence descends.
