Shin jerked suddenly, it felt as if he was just thrown into this [s]dream[/s] nightmare. Feeling the water touch his shoe, soaking through the canvas and wetting his toes uncomfortably when he jumped, he pulled himself up onto the ledge and stood next to what seemed to be an old cell tower looming above him. Across the canal, which was far too long to even consider crossing, there were a number of dark buildings. None of them seemed completely in tact and there was no sign of anyone else here with him. A tall dark building caught his eye in the distance. He couldn't make out any specific details, besides how large it was especially in comparison to all the others. 

He brushed himself off and walked south, exploring the area. There was unidentifiable rubble along the ground and a coat of dust found itself blowing in the air. The sky was cloudy, who knows what time it was but it certainly wasn't day. Looking down the canal, near the fence that separated the dilapidated town from literally nothing in particular, there was flood gates parted open in an unnatural way. The look of mold growing up the side was unsettling, but if you think about mold as a life form atleast Shin wasn't entirely alone. 

Shin made his way to the building that he presumed controlled the broken flood gates, but couldn't find any obvious entrance in plain sight atleast. He decided trying to get in was useless anyway, and started walking back north.
