“Have you seen the strange news?” John’s Manager, Henry, asked.
“No, what news?” John asked, a bit confused, but also guessing it had something to do with the rather mystical occurrences he had been seeing lately.
His manager grinned, and said “You won’t believe it, come, and let me show you.” Henry then led him to his office, where he had a large flat-screen TV showing the local news. John noted slightly sourly that while corporate hadn’t been able to afford them any pay raises, they were able to afford a new wall-mounted flat screen TV for the manager, which hadn’t been there last time he’d been in the office. However, he quickly forgot about that when he saw what was on the TV.
“Local authorities have issued a warning for people to ‘stay home today’ after a large number of strange occurrences around the city. They were pressed for further details, but have refused to make a statement. However, throughout the city, there’ve been a large number of ‘Supernatural’ events, which we’ll show footage of now” Said the Weather Lady, who John had never bothered to learn the name of.
A video started playing on the screen, showing a man in the street. The video appears to have been taken by a number of others nearby, who are all surrounding the man chanting “Fire! Fire! Fire!”
Stolen novel; please report.
The man then shouts to all the people “You want Fire? I’ll give you fire!” To the cheers of the crowd (It is good to note that the man and the entire crowd appear to be part of the same gang, of which the man is the leader). The man then lunges his head into the air and opens his mouth wide, upon which fire spews from his jaws into a cone 20 feet into the air. The crowd to cheer even louder, some deciding it was prudent to fire their weapons in the air, causing a couple of gunshots to ring out.
The video then fades into another one, showing a scene taking place in the local park. It shows a man, who looks to the camera and waves, before two large white wings erupt from his back, and he says with an infectious grin, “Look what I can do!” before crouching down and flapping his wings once, powerfully to launch him up into the air. He then starts flying around with incredible speed doing backflips and other aerial maneuvers (Rather sloppily) before coming into the ground for an admittedly rough landing.
The broadcast then cute back to the news anchor, but John is distracted by his manager who says “Crazy, right?”
“Uh, yeah” John says with wide eyes, not quite believing the news, and at the same time pondering his neighbor’s claim that he’d disintegrated a hole through his house.
“Well, I’m gonna send yah home, John. It looks like a bit too crazy of a day to work” Says his manager, shooing John out of the building after he clocked back out again.
John stepped back out onto the street, just in time for him to see a 10-foot tall muscle-bound were-wolf creature burst out of a nearby Jewelry store, and sped off down the road with long, bounding strides.
