Heavenly Protection

“Before Icarus flew too close to the sun, he had fun test flying his wings,” the reporter said, as the camera widened to reveal me, floating above the city, wings twitching with excitement.

“And now the city’s very own angel will demonstrate her new safety net for our fair city! Welcome to Tenshi Rising!”

I flapped my large wings and raised them and began to spin. My wings raised and the feathers began to cover the city.

Everyone looked up and murmured at the “blessings of the Angel.”

I was eager to protect the city that was so full of crime and death. I tired of the suffering I could feel at every turn. With this I could help them, perhaps, lend them heavenly protection.

The feathers returned me, and I tried not to pant and look tired. I needed to finish this.

I took the microphone and said “My feathers have discovered everything planned and unplanned. All that is going to happen in the next twenty four hours. And my heavenly protection will save you. This city will smile again.”

With those words I fell from the sky.
