Haze Over Hangman's Bridge

A heat haze on the old bridge shows people their futures walking past them in the opposite direction—some futures wave, some draw weapons. Pilgrims clog the crossing; bandits charge tolls for glimpses. Cross without trading places with your tomorrow, shatter the mirage at its source, or chase a future self who stole something vital.
