Peter woke with a violent gasp, confused for a moment, and then aware of his
surroundings. He looked around. An orderly sat in a chair in one corner of the 
room, watching the flatscreen on the wall. The screen showed an image of 
buildings on fire. The words "LIVE from Seattle" and "Racial Violence" floated
over the pictures. In front of the buildings crowds of pure humans were throwing 
bottles and rocks at the elves and dwarfs and trolls and orks who were trying to 
escape the fires. Police in riot gear shot tear gas into the crowds. The gas 
dispersed groups of pure humans, but blocked the escape of the metahumans.
