The Reluctant Hero

I look down at my scarred hands as the sound of a building collapsing nearby, and shrill screams echo throughout the air. My eyes adjust to the chaos around me, forcing me to witness pain and anguish on the faces of hundreds. As I stand in the middle of the disorder around me, I look up to the cloudless sky, and a Boeing plane falling from grace, crashing down into a nearby field, causing the earth to tremble under my feet. I look on in horror as the plane’s rear end catches fire and explodes instantly,

“Dystopia…” I breathe out.
