Let's play a little fiction writing game. I'll give a prompt, you write the opening paragraph of the story. Character X moves to a new country to escape their past, only to find that their past keeps catching up with them. (You can choose any genre, plot direction, setting, character(s), etc.)

The taxi had a broken window and a back door held on by orange rope and the driver sat hunched forward against the bitter cold as he drove him silently through cobbled together masses of concrete and wide expanses of abandoned land and heaped up piles of rubbish all drowned in a pallet of washed out blues and greys that made up this forgotten city, his eyes on the foreigner in the back seat for half the journey asking wordlessly what the fuck he thought he was doing there. It shouldn’t have stood at all but it somehow still did, like a stake driven at an angle into the earth deep enough to never topple, the render on the front all but disappeared, a crack the entire length of the brickwork wide enough to fit a fist into, the elevator doors kicked in and used as a toilet, the stairwell blanketed in darkness where the communal lights had long since been shut off, his building the only one of four that still remained.

Very atmospheric! Post-apocalyptic noir?
