Your Life as a Blood Angel

Your mother asks you to draw her with all her teeth. You are a child on Baal Secundus, and the angels have come for candidates. This is the whole life of one Blood Angel, told in the second person: the trials in the radioactive desert, the long sleep in the sarcophagus, the first mouthful from the chalice, the red armour, a century of war, and the slow arrival of the Black Rage. Every painting he made, every name he kept, and the moment the walls of a rebel gun battery become the walls of a ship ten thousand years away.
