The good:

Then a voice roars out of the earth (what a voice!), “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” And there is light. But it is not good.

In milliseconds the light mushrooms out from the tower, then expands in a disk. It tears though Penelope and she sees her father sprawled still and pale on the floor, his throat a mess of red flesh. It reaches Fin and he is back in Nome Mine, shrieking while dead voices whisper horror into his ears. It consumes Jack and he sees Amy vanish in a puff of ash and hears his father gasping for breath. It finds Lilith last and she is once again a girl named Katie Smith, bending over a dead boy, sobbing, planning to kill herself.

I'm writing a vision right now. It's a bit esoteric and I'm not very confident about it. This may be a victim of a future re-write. It's one of the weirder thing that I've written. Sorry for the heavy excerpt too.
