I lost a lot when the Shang attacked but I’m nowhere near alone in that. Ken became one of my best friends during The War. He was born in Los Angeles and lived there all his life until Yosemite fell. He only spoke of what he saw that day once that I ever heard. It’s his story to tell and I won’t repeat it even here. But let’s just say that Buckaroo Banno had a lot of reasons to drop his surfboard and volunteer. And he had a lot of reasons to kill Shang. But who am I kidding? Most of us did.
