First paragraph (or thereabouts):

---------------------------
At first a whisper.
The soft beating of wings.
Technician Ramirez strolled into the garden of memory and looked up toward the flocking dead above him. A billion and more bright holographic butterflies. Each a soul. Each a life lived and ready to be retold at a moments notice.

--------------------
