Ezra

"Fuuuuuck. Why him and not me?"

Ezra has never had to work for anything in his life, and he'll be the first to tell you—usually while sulking about something trivial, like the temperature of his coffee or the audacity of a mission starting at 6 AM.

Several impacted the planet’s surface. One, the largest, disintegrated over the ocean, releasing an unprecedented burst of unknown radiation and particulate matter into the upper atmosphere. 

The material was later named Astra Particles. Microscopic, energy-reactive particles that spread globally through air and water systems within weeks. At first, nothing happened. Then, children started bein
