Saving LivesThe light is too bright. It hurts my eyes. Where am I? A hand pushes me back when I try to sit.“You have to stay still. Your wounds will open if you don’t.” Who’s that? I’ve never heard her voice before. When I finally open my eyes I can see that she’s a killjoy, like me.“Who are you?” She smiles, “I’m Crash Cola.

You were in their van, wounded, so Kooky decided to take you with us. We c
