[The day had begun normally enough, although it was a very busy day being on the heels of New York Fashion Week and the Milan Fashion Week about to begin. Packages were arriving regularly, and no one noticed one extra one... until it exploded, taking out the front security desk. Moments later, a half-dozen gunmen entered and began opening fire. Aphrodite herself was able to escape unharmed, but 10 of her employees died and another two dozen injured...]

The person who would dare do this to my business, my people... It has gone too far.

Son of a motherfucking bitch. Fucking flash mob tried to melee me. 'Bout 20 people. Some shit like that. Fucking tried to maul me. Stupid bitches. Ain't they got enough fucking sense not to take on a professional prizefighter?

I won. Got beat up some, but I kicked their fucking asses to the goddamn pavement.

I hope everyone else is noticing this pattern here. None of this is coincidence.

These sons of bitches better fucking hide from me.

"...no suspects yet in the attack on the University of Wyoming campus. The target appears to have been the astronomy and physics department. School officials state that it was most definitely not a lab accident, but have no further information on what happened. The office of one graduate student was entirely destroyed, but, fortunately, no injuries were reported..."

Well, that wasn't very nice.

Someone has blown up my car.

[It had started like a normal day. Then, oddly, he had gotten a letter at his work office. Not that he never got mail, but this one seemed... different than the usual test results and paperwork ping pong. Opening it, he found the letter was coated with a curious white powder. A few hours later, illness set in, and the doctor became a patient...]

...Watch your mail. I think mine was just poisoned. I'm staying at the hospital until further notice. Good thing this isn't my weekend to have the girls...

"...seven people have been injured, one critically, in downtown Seattle today, as an impromptu zombie-themed flash mob at Carl Anderson Park was rocked by the explosions of at least three pipe bombs. Eyewitnesses report that the gathering had been under way for only a few minutes when a group of three men, disguised in bloody face masks and camouflage clothing, threw the bombs into the crowd, where they exploded. The suspects then fled on foot in the direction of Howell Street. The man closest to the explosions has been identified as Chase Woods, 29, a possibly-homeless man known to frequent the area. Woods was transported to Harbor View Medical Center where he remains in critical condition; six others sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene. Police are continuing their investigation tonight, but at this time they have no motive for the attack. However, some witnesses claim that the bombs seemed to be deliberately aimed at Woods himself. Anyone who has any possible information on the suspects is urged to contact..."

"...reports are just coming in that the local branch of pastry-shop franchise Frosted Fancies has been attacked. Canisters of tear gas were thrown into the shop, forcing customers and employees outdoors where an unknown gunman opened fire on the crowd. Two customers were killed at the scene, and seven have been injured, including owner Amber Wheatley-Shin and her assistant...."

[As heard on various news sources]

"...with it being Patriot Day, it is a shock to hear of a breaking story on one of our military bases. Lieutenant Andreas Karalis and University of Washington sophomore Amanda Keefe were victimized in a brutal attack at the Fort Lewis complex in Washington. Reports state that five masked men broke into military quarters around three a.m. this morning, and surprised the victims, tying them both up. Lieutenant Karalis was severely beaten with various weapons, and Miss Keefe was beaten, stripped nude and had numerous Bible verses carved into her skin with a knife. She also suffered some stab wounds. Medical experts say that the injuries of both victims, while severe, are not life-threatening. The female victim is pregnant, but mother and baby are both listed as being in stable condition. The military has chosen to release the report due to allegations that both victims are known reincarnations of figures in Greek mythology: the hero Achilles, and the Muse Erato, on the suspicion that other so-called 'godlings' may be targeted next..."
