The storm had ravaged the city. One of Luca’s windows had cracked from the hail as he was cowering beneath his covers; he hated storms. When he heard it die down, he realized how bad it was from the sounds. He could hear car alarms blaring, babies crying, fires starting. He then heard another strange sound: a song. ““Call me Mr. Rattlebone. Holy Ghost who haunts your home. They don't know you like I know you. Call me Mr. Rattlebone,” the haunting tune went. Luca felt a shiver down his spine as he heard it. He opened his laptop and began to hack the traffic cameras to see what was happening on the streets, if the cameras were even still in tact. However, just before he broke the firewall, he had a change in thought. He had no idea was possessed him, maybe the creepy song, but he knew he had to go down to the street and help those who were in need.
The damage was worse than he imagined. Glass littered the street, cars were broken and on fire, and people were sitting around on the curbs looking more worn out than the buildings around them. Luca spotted a girl he recognized as he struggled to remember her name. “Hello, miss?” he said to her through the smoke and debris. “Are you ok?” he asked. “Yeah,” she replied, “that song though… I’ve heard it before… trouble is coming.” As she said this she got a terrified look on her face and ran off. “Odd,” Luca thought to himself. He then spotted a man cleaning was looked like blood of of his hands. He approached him and remembered him to be Master Gooway. “Master Gooway?” he said hesitantly as he approached him. “You here the song too, right?” he said. “Yeah…” “The change is coming, but for you, it already came,” said Oogway as he walked away as Anna had done. Luca took into account what he had said and then wondered if people would always be this weird when he left his apartment.
