Preface

Twelve.

Such a simple number to the simple minded.

It can mean any number of things,

but it one cares to look hard enough,

the number Twelve is a very meaningful number.

The Gifted

Those born with extraordinary power;

all human,

completely unprecedented.

These powers can be anything one can dream of.

But let us not call them “powers”

They shall be known only as Gifts,

until time takes its last breath.

The connection?

The last remaining Gifted to walk this Earth.

How many?

Twelve.

Twelve left of a dying race, just Twelve.

What was once a common attribute among people

is now but a thorn in the side of society.

No one remembers

or rather wants to remember.

There was agony, strife, chaos,

and above all,

there was Murder.

So Dear Listener,

do you wish to remember?
