Machine guns roared
as bullets scattered through the sewer.
Rei
stumbled down the sewer desperately looking for a way out.
Suddenly she noticed a beam of
light coming from above, promising salvation.
Rei
climbed up to the light and managed to pry the heavy
metal disk loose.
She emerged to see a great structure
that towered before her.
A small child cautiously stepped
from the dark smog
that had come over the city.
"Are you an angel?" asked
the child.
"I'm...not sure..."
replied Rei.
"Do you know how to get home?"
The child smiled. "Well,
if you're an angel,
then your home should be HEAVEN."
"HEAVEN...?" Rei murmured to herself. "How do I get to HEAVEN?"
The child smiled again and pointed
upwards to the giant steel monstrosity that filled the sky.
"That way," said the
child.
"Thank you," Rei said. More lights
began to appear and move towards her.
Rei
thanked the child again and ran into the metal beast.
