• rain fell from the sky, the tears of the gods raining onto us. our lives, so simple, so short. we humans cannot understand the dealing of these beings. but i am getting ahead of myself.
    i am called Shi, and i am what you would called a god. these chronicles, told in seguence, relate my life from the point where heaven touched earth, and unfortunetly for you.......so did hell.
    lightning. a flash of primal energy.dangerous, tantilizing. i stood in an empty field, ringed with the woodlands.another flash. a man seems to appear next to me. i know better. he ran. he wears a dark trenchcoat, contrasting with his pale skin.
    "did you get it?"he asks, his voice clear as a bell, yet strangely dark, as if it could leap out and bite me.
    "ki?", i ask.
    "yes. it is i."he replies, his tone showing a slight hint of anger."give it to me."
    i reach into my pocket and remove a simple crystal sphere. the rain seems not to touch it and energy seeps from it, soaking into the air, permeating it.
    his face lit up. he smilied, a hidious thing on his beautiful face.he drew a pistol from his pocket and said:
    "thank you."
    he fired.
    i screamed.
