There s a woman wailing in that house. I keep walking. I walk until her screams are out of earshot, then I look at my map. I can see the noisy house drawn here, a square box with a little circle around it. I look closer. You can hear wailing, it reads. I close the map. I keep walking. I need a cog – a rusty cog, a clean cog, any cog. All the water pumps in town are broken, I only need a cog to fix one of them. You can hear wailing. I need the water to make medicine. It s getting late. The thugs will be out soon. You can hear wailing. I need a cog. I haven t met anybody with a cog in days. Where are the godforsaken workmen? You can hear wailing.
Shut up, no I can t. Shut up. There s nobody in that house. And even if there was, they can take care of themselves. I need a cog. Shut up, Pathologic 2. I need a cog.
