Cassandra, an artist from England. Ed, an American WWII veteran. Both find themselves together in the afterlife. It is up to Cassie to discover why.
Yesterday it began. Yesterday was the falling through the sky and then the ground below, deadly and level and made of earth and grass. The noise was a thrumming, a taut noise of hard air striking and shivering past wings that would no longer fly. It was a scream that had no lungs to pant and make it stop. The men in the aircraft were beyond screaming. They were focussed on pulling up, pulling up, trying to make it so that the aircraft touched the ground more softly than a spear.
