BIG RATTALTON. Here's a city where even the cheapest sensationalist reporters won't visit.
If you're quiet and stay back, we can safely follow little Kelly Cutting through this squalid city filled with violent gangs, human traffickers, and sadistic psychopaths. But we can't explain how this small child brushes them aside - or ruins them if she fancies.
After we see her childhood crumpling under tragedy, and cruel monsters crushing her spirit, a most peculiar force in her unleashes. You might notice the rain unwillingly turning away from her. Or the midnight stars rearranging at her curtsy. Only the foolish would dare cross this child, like the old man who stole her meal. His fingers broke when Kelly recited a poem to a porcupine family about a brave dandelion.
But she is not alone. A mysterious and powerful figure is also watching her. He wants something far beyond our comprehension. And when Kelly discovers him at last, their confrontation will release a tiny fire from hell. . .
A season of desperation looms before us. Kelly rises to crush and curse the giant monsters in the city. Expecting wrath for all the scars she collected, we will retreat now and look for safety. Maybe she won't notice.
