[Just After Morning Sirens]

[A newspaper is being held up to the NV. The device is recording face-up from a flat surface, looking at a ceiling that someone familiar with the room might identify as the one in Magneto's condo, but there really isn't enough time for that. Because a newspaper covers most of the screen, an article about the bodies ( Read more... )

[Before Evening Sirens]

[Czeslaw is seated at a bench in font of a grocery store. He's avoiding a sudden downpour, it seems, and there's a backpack with a re-usable grocery bag peeking out next to him. He is, as usual, neatly combed, wearing a vest and bow-tie beneath a jacket and a little newsboy hat atop his head ( Read more... )

[Early morning. The video shows a rather ordinary-looking boy dressed in a button-down shirt and neatly pressed shorts in a style and cut that give a distinctly 'vintage' look.

[The passage is handwritten in small, neat, spindly cursive.]Once upon a time, there was a creature. Not exactly a monster, but nothing like a bird or a fish and definitely not like a human being. Maybe more like an amoeba, hardly something anyone would consider to be alive in anything but the most basic sense. This creature watched other things ( Read more... )

Wow, it sure was crazy what happened in that bank heist yesterday! Just like something out of a movie, the crooks were foiled by their own plan. I was really surprised ( Read more... )

["Benjamin" is in the underground mall, eating a piece of what looks like berry pie with ice cream, courtesy of the pie baking contest. It seems he's gotten some 21st-Century style clothes, a puffy parka and knitted toque, his cheeks apple-red from having been out recently in the cold.]I always counted myself lucky - my friends back home were in ( Read more... )
