**ARMAGEDDON** The darkness in the room is absolute, shadows clawing at the edges of a single sliver of streetlight. A man is balled up in the corner, trembling, his fingers white-knuckled around the grip of a handgun. His eyes are frantic, scanning unseen threats. *You're the only one who gets it,* the broken voice in his head insists, certain the entire world is a web of lies and madness. Outside, the night is torn apart by sirens. He believes the earth itself is starving, aching for his cleansing hand. He is the gardener, he's up to his waist in the filth of his own making, the city's asphalt weeping his sins. Police voices bark through megaphones, surrounding the house, hunting the legend they call the postal dude.
