Radioactive Isotopes

Tonight the sun had set around six in the evening, giving birth to a night full of stars. The soft chill of the night made Lai Su hugged his coat tighter around his body. He walked briskly, trying to do his best to reach the next streets before the traffic lights would turn green.

He muttered a curse when he almost tripped. Lai Su straightened his back as he looked around. Realizing that no one was paying attention to him, he proceeded to pick up the papers and walked towards his apartment building. He eyed his watch, it was only a few minutes past seven. However, staying in the streets of Kong City is practically a suicide for someone like him. 

He grabbed the key card and hastily opened the one-bedroom apartment that he just rented when he took the job as the new researcher in the S university. A sigh left his lips.
