I remember waking up on my side. Him next to me crying for my sake, holding me close and telling me I was okay and that I was going to be fine. I sat up on my elbows, looking around at the city I once loved, the coffee shop my mom worked at the playground the kids I used to baby sit played at. All destroyed...I got up on my feet and bounded towards the coffee shop, my mother, sitting with my sister both drinking coffee, alive. They snarled at me and shunned me away. "What happened!?" I said running toward my sister. She pushed me away,
pointing to a TV in the corner.
"In today's news: Alleged homicidal prosecutor found floating over Oakland California taking out the entire city block, only few people still alive...Back go you Janet." She shut off the TV. My face paralysed in horror. No, not again, did I really take out the entire city block. I ran out watching birds fly down, clawing at it innocent pray. Was I like that? I looked down at a tree, not standing up, not providing shelter for squirrels, or housing the family's of the diamond dove. It lay on its side, crushing a car, victim still inside, her eyes wide open, knowing her fate. My eyes swelled with tears, did I do this. I made sure I disabled the Nova inside of me. I'm sure I did.
