April Leonard was dying. Gone were all of her ambitions, all of her desires, all of her emotions and colours that she had sought and thirsted for through her – admittedly not too long – life. They were all gone now, and in their place was just an oncoming and unstoppable tide of blackness.
'Is that that how death looks like?' April mused, when her now-darkening world flashed sickly yellow and fell apart, as Philip's manifested time anomaly tore New Dawn's building complex to shreds, molecules and atoms – including April herself.
'Whoa!' was the last thing April thought before she herself was pulled apart.
...It was later. The sun was shining, the rotting vegetation was reeking, and April could see - literally so – that her new point of view was all wrong for an adult human: the point of view was excessively low slung and too small for her.
"What has happened to me?" April tried to say, but to her growing fear found that she could only chirp. Then, to make matters worse, a pair of monstrous jaws – crocodile or alligator – swung low and picked her up... before beginning to carry her to water.
"April Leonard," a strange yet somehow familiar voice echoed in April's new head and skull. "Throughout your previous life, you were cold-blooded and calculating – and so, in your new life and for the next few, cold-blooded you will be! Maybe after next two or three reincarnations you will regain your humanity once more! Until then – farewell!"
The strange voice vanished from April's mind, and the resulted vacuum was filled with relief instead. April was alive – admit in an unexpected, strange way – and she was going to live.
And perhaps, in next two or three reincarnations, she was going to be human once more.
