RO staggered drunkenly down the street, the other late night pedestrians giving him a wide berth. He stopped momentarily, attempting to look at the dial on his watch, the numbers blurring together. A hand suddenly gripped his shoulder, pushing him into the dark alley. His eyebrows scrunched in confusion, the alcohol slowing his judgement. By the time it finally clicked, the hand had released his shoulder to punch him in the jaw, sending him to the ground.

He was picked up roughly and shoved against the wall, his head bouncing off the brick wall of a building and starting a thin trickle of blood down his forehead. As his attacker reached for his wallet, RO sobered enough to let a weak punch fly and connect with the dude's nose. The man grunted, the let a series of punches and kicks fly into RO's stomach. He felt something crack, and a sudden burning sensation in his lungs made it to the forefront of his mind. A final punch to his jaw knocked him unconscious, his attacker stealing his phone and money, leaving his wallet behind as RO lay bleeding in the alley, slumped against a cold metal trashcan as a summer storm rolled in, drenching him.
