There are chapters in fiction that read like prophecy. Moments in novels that bleed into reality so vividly that the line between imagination and truth disappears. Chapter 10 of Book II of S.O.L.A.D.™ is one of those chapters. Titled “A Score to Settle,” it finds our heroes Angelo and Angeline pressed to the limit, their city in chaos, their enemies multiplying, and every ounce of light within them challenged by the encroaching darkness.
