+The Kell is screaming three inches from my face and its breath smells like two corpses in summer and I have to blink my eyes against the spit. One of the less obvious perks of being able to pull a flaming gun out of the air is enjoying moments like this—alien fist around my neck, feet kicking in the air, not two seconds from death—but ready to laugh at the expression on that Kell's four-eyed face as its mandibles click for the last time and its body turns into fire.
-''The giant creature pulls back its other fist and its steel muscles bunch. I reach for the Light and get… nothing? Huh. Right. I used my flaming gun on those three Taken outside the obelisk. Gotta learn to count.''<br>

+===Season of the Haunted===
+What a sorry excuse for a stakeout this is. He's resting against my Sparrow, balanced on a knife's edge, ready to spring to action at a moment's notice. Posse's got him flanked and eyes all on a swivel and they're looking for trouble. Looking for me.
+They try to squint the sun out of their eyes, but it won't help them. I remember when I used to shield my eyes. I remember when I tried to stay in the shadows. I don't squint no more.
+I drain my cup, and I stand, stretching my weary hands. The sun glints off the barrel of his pistol, and I can tell it's gonna be quick. Group's getting antsy. And where there's impatience, there's imprecision. I don't forgive imprecision.
+Stepping into the sunlight, it's like I can breathe again. All at once, they skitter to attention like I ain't been watching them for the past 20 minutes. Big one gets his rear off my ride. Small victory. Then he puffs himself up, hand inching toward his pistol. Mine stays planted on my belt.
+"Look who finally stepped into the light of day."
+I sure did. And you're gonna wish I hadn't.
