Government mandated handholding

HOLD

ONTO

Sometimes, the need to stay close outweighs any notion of personal space. A single hand can be enough, a lifeline in the chaos. Or maybe it takes more: an arm wrapped tight around a waist, fingers tangled in a sleeve, both hands gripping as if letting go would mean losing everything.

Whatever comes next, letting go is unthinkable.

Hold on tight.

HOW TO PLAY

PROMPTS

CROWD: The crowd closes in from every side, and somewhere in the crush, your hands find each other.

RUN: Grab them and run. Explanations can catch up later.

ROUGH GROUND: Every few steps, somebody slips. Before long, an arm stays firmly around them.

DON’T LOOK DOWN: Somebody glances over the edge halfway across and stops dead. Take hold of them; the rest of the crossing happens together.

CAN’T SEE: The lights vanish. Reach into the dark until your fingers find a sleeve, a wrist, anything familiar enough to hold onto.

CURRENT: Water slams into both of you and immediately tries to tear you apart. Neither hand gets to open.

STAY BEHIND: Without looking back, the person in front reaches behind them. The other hand is already there.

PULL THEM UP: Somebody goes over the edge. You catch their wrist at the last second.

DON’T GET LOST: Neither of you knows where you’re going, but at least you know where the other person is.

HOLD STILL: Something nearby watches for movement. Pull them against you and let neither of you so much as twitch.

BAD BALANCE: The vehicle bucks hard enough to send somebody sideways, straight into the other character’s arms.

I’VE GOT YOU: One leg refuses to cooperate, so walking becomes a two-person job. Take their weight and match their pace.

TAKE ME WITH YOU: They make it one step before somebody catches their hand.

ANCHOR: Something grabs one of you and pulls. The other plants their feet, gets both hands on them, and pulls back harder.

AFTERWARD: The danger ends before the contact does. Your hands remain locked together, grip tight enough to ache.

WILDCARD: Find another reason these two absolutely cannot afford to let go.
