I was a block away from them when I got my cell phone out and dialed home, but I already knew the response I would get.

Home as in home to Danny? She did want to warn him.

The automated message came from the phone as I held it in one hand, heading directly north.

At least she already got him to take off his glasses. Hopefully he didn’t eventually go “eh, guess she was wrong, back on with these”.

That still doesn’t save him from windows and such, though, unless he’s remained constantly aware of all the glass around him since.

This phone number is currently out of service.  If you would like to leave a message… 

Yeeeah. Old number, pre-Leviathan.

Judging distances wasn’t a great strength of mine.  How many blocks, how far did I have to run to reach my dad?  Five miles? Six?

Same.

I was a practiced runner, but the streets here weren’t all in the best shape.  Some were flooded, others strewn with debris, still more suffering in both departments.  There were areas that were blocked off.

Speaking of Leviathan… Seriously, dude’s got no respect. Come back here, Leviathan, clean up your mess! We want every bit of debris put back in its place or you won’t get any brownies after dinner!
