A man is carrying a body across a beach at night. This is on the outer perimeter of the Upper level. Fresh water trickles from the Upper into the Middle and finally into the Lower. This particular beach is beautiful. Artificial but beautiful. Swimmers must be careful as going to far to the edge as the water falls will likely lead to their downwards fall into the Middle.

There are certain people in this richer community in the Upper who have their enemies in the same level smuggled out by use of the edge beach waterfalls. Anyone could be thrown down to the lower levels but that has some risk of being found out. There’s a lot more surveillance in the Upper and security is taken more seriously. However, an edge beach waterfall is more convenient. It is less likely for them to die on the way down and additionally, there are warnings on the beach saying that swimming in the edge beach water is at the swimmer’s risk. And so we reach to why this man is carrying this body.

This man is a smuggler and he has been paid to demote this unlucky soul to the Middle. He wraps the body in a life jacket. The body has been wrapped in a water soluble wrapping and so after some minutes in the water, the person inside is able to swim free.

He places the body in the water and nudges it in the direction of the edge’s waterfall.
