Ostrich #556

**EVERY CITY HAS AN O-TOWN.** THE PLACE WHERE THE POOREST ELEMENTS OF SOCIETY MINGLE, HUSTLE, STRUGGLE AND COMPETE FOR SURVIVAL. CRIME IS RIFE, POVERTY IS ENDEMIC AND DRUGS ARE THE CURRENCY OF CHOICE. THE BUILDINGS CRUMBLE, THE GRAFFITI FADES, THE BINS OVERFLOW WITH WEEK OLD FOOD WASTE. THE CHILDREN RUN RAMSHACKLE THROUGH THE SLUDGE FILLED ALLEYWAYS AND STAIRWELLS. THE POLICE RARELY COME, THOSE THAT DO ARE OFTEN MORE CRIMINALLY MINDED THAN THE INHABITANTS. LOYALTY IS EVERTHING.
