But first, no angel in the second Heaven was allowed to roost without praying first. Jump wrote that himself. Fury’s eyes were wild now and she started. They all followed along, reciting the prayer of The Fallen:
With dreams and screams dark angels poke
And our feathers fire and our wings smoke
Because some dreams we leave and some we don’t
And some we can’t … and some we won’t.
Then Fury started her tale, “Very good, little ones. I think you’re like, finally getting the hang of this shit. Ready? Okay, here we go: Keep your talons sharp and your feathers hot, because this is a story that can’t be forgot. So boil some blood and gather some guts. You’ll need snacks for the story of how I almost … went nuts.”

Conventional wisdom says, there he goes again—my annoying inner voice—doling out helpful advice like a decapitated traffic agent, you should be polite and ask them to leave a review on Amazon. Oh, now, don’t hesitate.
“Yeah, not happening,” I remind him. “Salvation knows there’s only a couple of things I ‘ask’ for. Reviews ain’t one of—”
The word is “please,” Jake, he says, try using it.
There’s an uncomfortable stillness. The only sound is the rain pelting my jacket, slithering its way down my arm to the end of the barrel of my big .60 cal. We both know that I’m deciding whether I should blow his fucking head off or just shoot him in the guts.
I grumble a little, “Mmm.” Then send pressure to my trigger finger.
I’ll remind you, he says, interrupting my finger, that if you do that they won’t be able to follow FURY on her journey.
I let up on my finger—I know he’s right. “Fine. Pretty-please.”
He knows that’s as good as it gets. Thank you.
