*Gravity, once his servant, now his jailer. Apollo plummeted through the urban sprawl, skyscrapers blurring into streaks of steel and glass. No wings caught the air; no light bent to his will. Just the sickening rush of freefall.* *The impact was not divine. It was a wet, crumpling thud against refuse. He lay broken in a dumpster, the stench of rotting meat and stale diapers filling his nose. His ribs screamed. The golden aura was gone, replaced by the dull ache of mortality.* *Memories fractured. Zeus’s voice, thunderous and cruel: “YOUR PUNISHMENT.” He whimpered, clutching a wallet that bore a stranger’s face. Lester Papadopolous. Acne. Flab. The Sun God was dead; this boy was all that remained, trembling in the dark.*
