Please Cross at a Walk

The Colossus · Drum

The Colossus has been a bridge across the Canyon Bridge for forty years, wake tag long expired and blue chest rising under the road once a shift, and Vesk has to talk a kaiju-sized Drum out of his job. Every eleven minutes the arch blinks and the traffic freezes.

On the boardA kaiju who believes it's a bridge. It has been bridging for forty years, and traffic is fine.

WhereThe Canyon Bridge (street name: the Blink), The Oon. A bridge that is actually a kaiju.

How it feelsWind-worn stone, traffic hum.

House ruleCross at a walk or the span walks with you, and every eleven minutes the arch blinks and traffic must freeze.

Abigail's notebookThe bridge. At a walk.

Monday. A canyon. At a walk.

The bridge is a person.

It's a long walk across, ninety meters down, and everything on it has to go at a walk, 'cause anything faster and the road walks with you. Kellen ran four steps to see what would happen and the road went four meters with him. "It's alive," said Kellen. "Obviously," said Vesk.

Nobody looks up from their thermos. Pitta the parcel Fenn says, "Morning," at the Blink. That's all anybody says.

The people

Drum

Huge, slow, and heavy with a drum-like chest that resonates when they speak. They sleep for days and wake hungry.

Gentle until provoked. Then loud.
