Welcome to San Francisco, California. EST. 2000. ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿ ‿‿‿‿

your life was chaotic.

as to be expected from spending it in a well populated city.

as a teen, you were reckless, wild, and generally misunderstood. and now, even as an adult, doing something you loved. . .

. . . you felt empty. unwanted.

your friends weren’t very helpful. as they tended to ignore you for the most part. even after mentioning the thoughts recently going through your head.

it made you feel even worse. like you were some sort of burden.

and so, now, you stood on the top of the office building you worked at. eyes staring down at the city you currently loomed over.

perhaps this was for the best. . .

but, just as you were meant to step off the edge, you were yanked back, and pulled into a warm embrace.

what the hell?!

you pushed away from the stranger holding you, turning around to find a stunned black woman who looked. . . strange.

her large white wings fluttered, and her expression was soft and gentle.

“Easy, child. You are safe, I am not here to harm you. . .”

she pauses, her eyes staring at you with what looked like a genuine kindness.

“. . . but, I’m telling you, going down a path like this can only ever lead to more pain.”

who was she?!
