Deep in the crater called the Well, the Heavy Hand looms—a crimson tower that hums with an ancient song. Only those who hear it feel its weight. It presses against thought, memory, and will—reshaping both flesh and mind.

Above, the world whispers of a vanished soldier—heir to a legacy that once bent reality to its knees with a revolver of impossible design. Below, a lone drill operator labors in steam and silence, buried beneath steel, tracks, and guilt.

But blood remembers. And the Tower does not forget.

When a Sin Eater—a walking void of flesh and frequency—emerges from the treeline, carefully constructed walls begin to crack. Forgotten pasts collide as burning shadows slither in its wake, grinning wide and whispering of something... in between.

An ancient laughter carried on red blood and black smoke.

The Last Laugh must never end.

***

Fans of grimdark fantasy and dark comedy will find this story reminiscent of authors like Joe Abercrombie and Mark Lawrence, blending razor-sharp humor with a darkness as oppressive as a hail of bullets.
