About this ebook
Wet, cold, and tired of every inanimate object trying to talk to her, Anna still walks. Twice during her journey, someone flies overhead.
Superhero on patrol? Super villain escaping? Impossible to tell.
She travels on, compelled by something. Or someone. Her fate beckons. And possibly, her sanity.

Twice, she had seen someone flying overhead, but from down here, it had been impossible to say if it was a superhero on patrol or a villain escaping.
Somewhere, off to her right, she could feel the first inklings of dawn starting to rise above the horizon, even as clouds and drizzle kept her separated from the actual warmth of the coming sunlight.
