OPENING LINE
The last day of life as I knew it began with a thunderstorm.

The rain slammed the pavement in sheets, creating a dark, slick look that reminded me of spilled oil. It drummed against the windows, a fuzzy background static that blended well with the sickly gray tint of the sky. It was mid-day but it looked like dusk, and on the one hand I was never happier to be in a dry, warm car.

On the other hand, I had never hated my job more as I stared through the rain at the skyscraper looming ahead.

The album cover for Dust Bowl Dance by Mumford and Sons, with a quote: "If I wanted to change anything, I would have to do something about it myself. Even if I have to stay dead, if I have to carry out my mission in secret, I can protect them. I can fix this city."

The album cover for Voices by Hidden Citizens, with a quote: "The puppeteer--Paragon--had been laughing, his voice coming from everywhere and nowhere all at once. 'I know you don't know how to use the power we have, little Siren. You'd be able to put up an actual fight if you did.'"

The album cover for Can't Help Falling in Love by Perfume Genius with a quote: "'I've had worse,' he told me as I smoothed the first band-aid over his cheekbone, valiantly ignoring how my stomach was doing flips as I felt his jaw tense.
'I know,' I said, 'but that doesn't mean you have to be in pain without any good reason.'"
