His voice was near. I could sense it. His mocking, playful, childish, creepy voice.
The building was on the brink of collapsing. Its brick walls had missing portions, probably from idiotic Enhanced. There's probably even one with Him.
I ducked under a table nearby, causing ashes and cinders surround me.
I cough.
"ESTHER," He screams in a rage.
