Scraps, a gutter child, is sitting in his hiding place in a back alley, waiting for the cold thunderstorm to pass. Suddenly, lightning strikes in front of him, and then a second time.

The Blue Wizard, singing his spells, throws lightning bolts and ice shards.

High school. Boys. Global climate change, refugees, and genocide. Orbital mechanics.
