It's the Little Things - Prologue + 1

Prologue

Markov Wellenby owned a miniature figurine shop in Everleason Mall, selling small wooden dolls and houses. But even a place like this mall wasn’t safe. A testament to this was the fact that criminals somehow brought Darkrun guns into the middle of the mall to force people to give up their valuable earnings. On most occasions the store that got hit was a neighbouring one as a criminal would have to be either dumb, unobservant, dyslexic or illiterate to attack his business as he barely made enough money to cover the rent for his space in the mall.

But alas, it did happen four times during Markov’s time at the mall that his business was chosen as a target. During those four times Markov fought back with a gun of his own, one approved by FORMAL, and registered under his name.

However, after that forth attempted robbery he moved his business to the north into a town where there weren’t many people. But what made him move? Why such a drastic decision?
