BioMy name is David Grey. I used to be a cop. No matter what, I want you to
remember that.
In the beginning, it was all about helping people. That's what cops do, right?
They help. But... the job takes its toll. The streets take their toll. It wore
on me. I think... I think that's why Sarah left me. I'd never say this to her
face, but she's right. I'm not the man she married. I'm less than that, now. All
I am is the job.
All I was was the job.
That one night, that one case, made everything change. I still don't understand
everything I saw, but Laurel says they took my soul. I have one year to walk to
New York and get it back. Otherwise, I become...
The Walkers. They work for Him. I don't know what He promised them, but they're
His. They killed that pusher. They drew me into that case. They took my soul.
They want to stop me. They want me to be one of them. It's messed up.
Laurel is... different. She's so unlike any woman I've ever known, and at the
same time... she reminds me of Sarah. She's taking the Long Walk with me, for
some reason. She's gone through it before, with other guys, and she won't tell
me why, or what she gets out of it. Still, she makes me feel safe. She's the
best guide I have in this crazy in-between world, where all the forgotten
people, the people who've slipped through the cracks, come to stay.
This is a world of the abandoned, a world in-between. It's no longer my
America... more like some kind of midnight nation. It's the country that comes
out at night, the one we'd rather forget. There's a magic to it. Frightening
magic. You see, the part they left inside me when they took out my soul? It's
growing every day. I can do... things... with it. If I do, though, it grows
faster. It’ll make me one of them. That can’t happen. It won’t
happen, because I won’t let it happen.
Please God, if you’re real, don’t let it happen.
…I’m sorry. I don’t usually get like this. It must be this place. Laurel told me
I had to come in here. There’s something for me to do. She’s cryptic like that,
somet… well, most of the time, really.
Being in here won’t count against my year, she says. She also said I can’t stay
here forever. I agree with her, although it’d be nice to just kick back and let
my troubles pass me by forever.
But I’m not like that. I need my soul back. And I’m going to get it.
Even if NY is so very far away...
