I remember being hurriedly pushed toward the flying ship by panicked voices howling peril. They spoke of a great heat inside me.
What was happening—?
Somehow, it was too late.
Now, all around me is twisted metal, smoking wreckage. My body throbs. Soot covers my hands and feet. Away from me, the skyscrapers appear spotted and streaked, but near there is only ruination. Debris like leaves. Great buildings that stood here only moments ago are gone. Here I am in the midst of it all.
I’m alone and lost and scared.
And, all the blast lines point to me.
