It\u2019d been like that for a long time, now. It used to be more than two; it used to be a dozen different faces would stare back. The faces had slowly whittled down, year after year, until now there were only two left. Julius would look in the mirror, no matter where in the world he found himself, and he\u2019d try to decide which face looked more like him.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He hadn\u2019t come to a conclusion, yet. But it felt like he was getting close.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There was a knock on the door.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cOne minute,\u201d Julius said. Whispered, really, because his attention didn\u2019t shift from the faces in the mirror. Both men in the mirror looked more or less the same, but they couldn\u2019t have been more different.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One of them had sad eyes. Expressive eyes. Etched in those eyes were a lot of things that had happened, a lot of things that those eyes had seen. The expression was worn, it was world-weary. An expression that had weathered plenty of storms and had come out the other side cracked and chipped for it all. He\u2019d seen this face in people his whole life, the face of people who had lived a lot of life and found that life had lived them and they hadn\u2019t lived life.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The other face smiled. It was a smile devoid of light, but not devoid of life. There was a glee there, but it was a glee that pulled in the light from around it like a void. The smile wasn\u2019t charming, or natural. The expression it wore seemed like an animal wearing a human mask, and it didn\u2019t, or couldn\u2019t, quite hit the right buttons. But where the other face seemed chipped, seemed worn; this face seemed whole. More than anything, this face seemed indestructible. Like it could walk down every path every other face he\u2019d ever worn had walked and come out the other side of it all looking exactly the same.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The knock on the door was more forceful this time. Both of Julius\u2019s faces reacted to the knocking<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The face with the sad eyes looked to the door like an animal looking to the door of its cage.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The face with the smile looked at the door, and its smile widened.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The door pounded, and Julius walked towards the door.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When he opened the door, the man outside look irritated. After he saw Julius\u2019s face, the man looked surprised, then worried. When Julius grabbed the man, pulled him into the bathroom, and shut the door behind him, the man\u2019s face looked scared.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When Julius pulled out his knife, he saw the man\u2019s face shatter like so many others had before.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After Julius finished, he went to the sink and turned it on, washing his knife and washing his hands. He looked up at the mirror.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For the first time in as long as he could remember, only one face looked back at him.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And that face smiled.<\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h5>Chapter One<\/h5><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 For some reason, dying was different this time. I\u2019d been shot in the head (on two different occasions), shot in the chest, shot in the leg <em>and<\/em> the head (lotta getting shot), stabbed in the throat, beaten to death with a pipe, beaten to death with bare hands, hung from the edge of a building, and drowned in a river. Those had all went pretty much the same. Dying (at least in my experience) was a quick process; a hell of a lot easier than falling asleep and waking up. At a certain point someone hits an off-switch and it\u2019s a smash to black, followed by feeling like somebody had thrown me into a bucket of ice with me doing my best not to piss myself as I came back to life in that empty basement, butt naked. This time they\u2019d dropped a building on me, and while I had to give them points for creativity, I didn\u2019t really see why this time should be any different.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But it was.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019m\u2026 here. Stuck in some kind of in-between place. For the first time in quite a while, I wonder if I\u2019m actually going to die. Like, permanently: life membership card revoked, no take-backs, kindly make your way down the stairs, sir.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <em>Something is wrong.<\/em><\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh?

It felt like someone stuck a hook in my consciousness and pulled me to the side so fast that if I\u2019d actually had a stomach right now I would\u2019ve thrown up. I could feel the City, everything that I\u2019d known the last few months, stayed exactly where it was while I was pulled away through a blackness that felt like a blanket covering whatever was actually out there. There was a distance between me and everybody in the City that I cared about: Max, Dame, Ginny and Tom, the Bagel Guy, George the Pigeon Man; and between me and the people I\u2019d been doing my absolute damnedest to stop: namely Julius, but also Marion, the Bone Collector, and Patriarch.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Most of all, I could feel the tether between me and The Bleeding City being stretched to its limit. Whatever was happening to me was undoing whatever <em>had<\/em> happened to me to connect me to the City. To, as long as I was in the city, keep bringing me back from the dead to save it. I still had things to finish before this final fade to black.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I had wrongs to, if not right, at least make my peace with.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But if whatever was happening wasn\u2019t fixed soon, that tether connecting me to The Bleeding City was going to snap. I would die. And if I died, The Bleeding City wasn\u2019t going to be far behind. I didn\u2019t know what to do, I didn\u2019t know how to <em>fix this<\/em>; if I could just\u2014<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Whatever fishhook was pulling me by the soul stopped, and the immediate stillness was more disorienting than getting pulled away at light-speed in the first place. I dangled for a second, still blind to whatever was around me, until a click turned on a dim light behind me.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I looked around. I was sitting in a red chair, the cushion fraying and soft. There were wooden armrests on either side, a cup holder in each one. In every direction were more seats, all of them empty. The seats in front of me slowly sloped down, and the seats behind me rose until they met the wall. Back above those seats there was a rectangular hole in the wall. Through the hole, that dim light shone through.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The dim light was a projector. I turned to face the screen in the front. I was in a movie theater.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And on the screen was my life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-84ee544 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"84ee544\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e1ab986\" data-id=\"e1ab986\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4cce7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f4cce7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/en\/subscription\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"42\" src=\"https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-1024x42.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-26676\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-1024x42.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-300x12.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-768x31.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-1536x63.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-18x1.jpg 18w, https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600-600x24.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ontheflipsidecomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-29-121600.jpg 1543w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prologue \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Julius stared at the mirror, and one man wearing two different faces looked back at him.
