Dawn of a Dark Knight
Ashor jolted awake with an eyes-wide holy hell as his car plowed into a telephone pole. His unsecured body did a header through the windshield onto the gravel shoulder. A side roll down the rough embankment ended with a splash land in a few inches of ditch water.
With a frustrated snort, he yanked several long,
dripping, black strands from his face. The scant stars in the dark sky playfully winked at him between the clouds.
“You guys getting a kick out of watching this?” he yelled at the sky.
Some warrior for the gods he was. Reeking of ditch refuse, whacked out from lack of REM sleep, and bouncing between lunacy and sanity on a regular basis were not ideal qualities for the Prime Magus, the leader of the daemon-killing protectors of humankind. Maybe the gods would revoke his superhuman status.
Right. If they intended to release him from this hell, then he wouldn’t be lying in a ditch.
The warm wetness tickling his eyebrow and the all-too-familiar coppery smell meant he’d sprung a leak. Based on the bottle-rocket exploding in his brain, there was probably a river delta of leaks. They’d heal, and probably within hours.
