As I wait, I actually have enough energy now to pull up most of my shields. My magical store is low, at embers level, but I should recover within a few days of eating normally. If I can just wait that long, I’ll have the power to use my secret invisibility shield to get the hell out of here. I flick at my new baggy prison wear. This and my fancy new zip-lock bag are all the possessions I have. Once I’m past the interstate line, I’ll somehow need to get a job to start making money. I can’t just steal from the innocent.
