Henry*** The sky bled fire—crimson tendrils streaking across the heavens like the last breath of a dying god.

See this hibernation state for yourselves." A ripple of excitement went through the crowd. This was so much more thrilling than just sitting here staring at a screen. "Let's go, let's go. I want to see this legendary underground bunker for myself." The bald man was already on his feet, leading the charge. I threw myself in front of them, arms spread wide, blocking the path.

Lina’s voice trembled slightly as she read the words written years ago: "Today, I am doing the bravest thing I have ever done.
