Neon Currents: The Last Steamboat
The Blade Boat cut through the glowing river, its neon paddlewheel churning liquid light. Smoke, tinged with electric blue, coiled into the night as towering holograms flickered above the skyline. The city never slept—neither did its ghosts.
Captain Ryo leaned against the railing, eyes scanning the shifting reflections. He had been running this route for years, ferrying lost souls through the underbelly of Neo Orleans. Tonight, though, something felt… off.
A shadow moved beneath the water, disrupting the neon ripples. The city’s AI watchdogs never patrolled the river—it belonged to something older, something hungry.
Ryo exhaled, gripping the wheel tighter. “Not tonight,” he muttered, shifting gears. The Blade Boat roared forward, leaving behind echoes of a forgotten world in its neon wake.
