Mom’s dropping me off now at Gollinger Park on her way to work (she’s an executive for MacCloud Electronics up in the city).

Project Super Nex – Chapter Four – Paladin Gains Wings
A female voice, throaty and soulful and subdued, wafts out of the distance. The words are muffled . . . growing clearer . . . it’s a song, a forlorn one . . . But where am I?
