He opened his eyes, lying on wet sand, cold wind on his skin. An older woman was standing beside him.

Old. Still alive! Stop!!! This was wrong; the virus had killed all adults.

„You are back,“ she said gently. „Good. I was afraid you didn't survive the fall from the bridge.“

Bridge? Fallen? Why? Where was he? He frowned. Who was he?

Confused, he realized that he could remember nothing at all as if he were a newborn child.

„You won't need a name,“ a dark voice suddenly drowned. „The world will know you as God's messenger.“

Zeke stopped when his eyes fell onto Casey, who was putting his photo stuff together. „Did I miss something? When have you turned into a football geek?“

„Me?“ Casey didn't even look up. „Never!“

„Okay. So, why do you hang around at every training lately?“ Zeke grinned. „Maybe it is because I've joined the team?“

„Don't be silly!“ Casey knew he blushed deeply as hard as he tried to fight it. „I am here to take photos, that's all.“

„Oh, get it. Delilah and her stupid school magazine again? She only uses you, you know that, don't you?“

Casey closed his photobag and grabbed the camera. „No, this time, it's not for Delilah,“ he said. „I need to widen my horizon, says Mr. Brown. He thinks my photos are good, but the motifs need more variety. Otherwise, I will never make it to MIT.“

„MIT, huh?“

“Yes. Of course, I could go to a city college in Ohio; some offer a decent art- and photo program. But to be honest, with a degree like that, in the best case, I would be able to work for a magazine like the Ohio Journey one day. MIT, though, can open you the world.“

„Pretty ambitious plans.“

Casey shrugged. „Better to grab for the stars than wasting your talent at a shabby backyard garage,“ he said.

Zeke watched him leave the bleachers and laughed. For whatever reason, he had a soft spot for this little geek. Good to know that nothing seemed to be able to derail him easily.
