My name is Norman Edwards, and I am a greying vietnam veteran. I am also Enumael, the ancient celestial scribe of Babylon's creation myth. If only it were that. I was there, it was true. Now, here I sit, in a sprawling city, called Neu Ye-orc, in a tavern named, apparently for the degenerates that patron it: The Deviant.
I know that this place is really New York, and that the tavern is a bar, because Norman knew, before his moment of weakness, before he died, and let me in... Now, after nearly four thousand years, I walk the earth, free of the cold void of hell. And I want to feel... Everything!
There is a woman looking my way as the deviant's bar tender brings me Norman's favorite drink. Her lips are painted red, and her hair is long and dyed a honey blond, though I know she was not born so, because the fallen angel in me can see through all her masks. She thinks me some easy mark, someone she can fleece of his money, for some cheap night of emotionless sex.
Norman's loneliness magnifies my own, and I find that I crave her, so I turn and give her an inviting smile. She has no idea what I truly am...
