18. Fear of the Dark

Koh understood from the moment his partner burst into flame, that he had been blessed. And he was glad, because he was afraid of the dark.

He lived in a place full of bright colors and bright people. The missions he took were ultimately fun and not too violent. Everyone was happy.

No one went out at night. No one went out when the sky turned off. There were streetlights and police and everything, but no one went out.

Everyone was happy.

No one went out.

Someone went out.

Someone did not come back inside.

Koh was a smart boy. He was not that someone.

Not for a long time.
