In Their Own Story
The pavement cracked under Duke's boots as he stepped into the alley. Above, a neon sign flickered 'EAT' before sputtering out. A scream echoed from a nearby diner—then the wet crunch of something breaking. Duke chambered a round. 'Time to kick ass and chew bubblegum,' he muttered, kicking the door open. Inside, a pig-faced alien was dragging a waitress by the hair. Duke's shotgun roared, and the creature dissolved into green slime, splattering the jukebox. The City would be his again, one street at a time—and he'd make sure every alien paid the rent in plasma.
