This is a paradigm shift. Everything you know has changed. Please remain calm.
March 2, 2006: A flash of light, and the world went white. They call if the White Event. It has taken completely normal, typical, mundane people...
A Bay Area Goth girl
A country boy from Oklahoma
A beltway tech developer
A Manhattan police detective
...and changed them. Gifted them. Alienated them. And, ultimately, marked them for death. You are someone like these people. Normal. Typical. Mundane. And, now, changed.
The White Even has occurred. You'd better get ready. The new universe has already begun.
