The Lincoln Overlord pulled out onto Powell. The car’s engine revved, and it sped away, out of sight beyond the line of firs. Gangers off to have fun elsewhere. Scum.
The hum of the trees in my mind tugged at me as I gripped the handrail. My power couldn’t help me. The trees certainly couldn’t. I had to deal with this just like any normal would. I couldn’t go to the police. I needed to get out and find a job that would get us out of this dump. And away from those gangers.
