The city was in a state of shock as the wave caused a series of casualties across the city as well as several hospitalized cases.
At the same time, a large man was walking along the street with a bag in his hands.
He had been living in the Philippines for the past twenty years before moving to New York five months ago. His name was James Purney.
His wife had died four years ago from cancer, and since then he has been living alone in his apartment.
James was about 6 feet tall, had a big belly, and weighed about 300 pounds. He had a round face with dark brown skin and short black hair. He wore glasses and had a thick mustache that covered most of his mouth.
Just like others, he has been touched by the wave, and when he saw the news about the beam, he ran over to the hospital where he worked as a doctor. He knew there had been many injuries from the blast, but he hadn't expected the scale of it.
