	'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' I don't fucking know, how am I supposed to know?! One minute I'm walking home at night, next minute there's this freak wind right across my face. When I'm able to get my eyes open and pointed forward again, the alley's packed tight at both ends with these jerky, stumbling not-people, like mannequins wrapped in skin.

	'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' Julie needs to find herself - and not in the hiking-across-Europe kind of way. She wants a clear and smooth path to success. She needs to have a hard talk with her mother and start setting goals real humans can achieve. It'd be nice if she stopped staying up for three days at a time, too.		'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?'''
