Val Hall 
The Odd Years

THESE ARE THE STORIES OF VAL HALL.Val Hall was a sanctuary, a haven raised by the vision and devotion of one man for others of his kinda EUR in the wreckage of the world left behind in the ashes of the conflagration of what they called the Great War. Men and women in whom an extraordinary moment released one singular extraordinary power, gathered under the definition of Superheroes (Third Class), could gather here in the twilight of their lives in search of security, contentment, care, and peace – they could come here to find, and take shelter with, others of their kind.From those who could know the unknowable, release gifts trapped in other minds, free ancient memories with a single touch, lead their kin back to the Promised Land, or face down a volcano, their powers are banked – until the instant in which they are kindled into something unforgettable. These are ordinary people, living ordinary lives. They could be your grandmother, your brother, your neighbor, your friend. They could be you.Val Hall is here for all who have need of it.
