The winged letters fluttered like little birds over the cobbled road. Every year, the school sent invitations to promising youths. Often, they would summon an unsuspecting ordinary child. A surprise. A miracle.

None of them moved towards me.

So I stole one.

Math is more rewarding than what they teach to angels, Sophie showed me that. Sophie, who thought hiding her cancer would make me love her more. If she dies, she dies forever. But perhaps being a broken angel of death finally has benefits. I will save her. Whatever it takes.

A pacing tip I always wish I could yell at my past self while shaking them vigorously—Skip the getting there. Skip the getting ready. Skip the walking to and waking up for. Write the thing and only the thing!
