Subway Corner

A narrow wedge of concrete and flickering fluorescent light, this subway corner sits beyond the reach of the platform’s scanners. The air hums with the stale warmth of stale air, mingling with the metallic tang of tracks below. Graffiti scars the walls in overlapping layers of scrawled urgency—codes, warnings, and the occasional mockery of authority. The single overhead light throws long shadows where the Doctor should have stood, his absence carved into the silence like a gash. The tiled floor bears faint scuffs where feet have hesitated, too late realizing the technology had failed them.
