Arrival

Mostly an explanation of the unique setting. I know it's weird.

For as far back as history could remember, City was the only thing that existed. Surrounding it was the endless Plains that stretched farther than even the telescopes could see. Even the explorers that returned from wandering far into the distance said the same thing, there was nothing else out there.
City didn't need anything else; it was very close to being perfect. A seemingly bottomless well supplied the gas that produced its electricity. Another seemingly bottomless well supplied water to its citizens, livestock, and crops. The crowded-together buildings were all less than five stories tall and made of wood and concrete. In them, the thirty-thousand (30,000) residents of City lived, worked, and found time to enjoy themselves.
Anna was walking home now. Just a few minutes ago she had been laughing and gossiping with her friends, but she had to be home before nightfall, her fathers orders. She was just approaching Garden Park, less than a hundred meters from her home, when she was blinded by a bright flash of light. As she blinked repeatedly to get her vision back, she heard a light thud in front of her. When she could finally see again, Anna looked ahead at the prone figure that had suddenly appeared.
He wore nothing but simple shorts, leaving his torso exposed. Anna gasped. A pair of wide, strong, gray wings sprouted from the middle of his back.
Councilman Helms was in his study when he saw the flash outside his window. He stood up sharply, kicking his chair to the floor behind him, and dashed out the door, ignoring the complaints of his wife. People were already closing in on the park, where the flash had occurred. A small crowd had already gathered by the time he arrived. Helms pushed his way through the ring, spying his daughter, Anna, among them but taking no notice of her. Seeing the unmoving winged figure glowing in the light of the setting sun, he immediately swore out loud.
It was going to happen again. If the Angels had started to come, the Demons wouldn't be far behind.

Author's Note

Good start? Tell me what you think. Please don't worry about the impossibility of the setting, it doesn't matter in this story. The purpose of having nothing else exist is only to create a "small world setting". Trust me, it's better this way.
