“Now Death usurps my premium”
“Charging a premium amount allows me to offer a premium service.”
“I started out hoping to remind people at some point in the novel that we should be loving and kind. But then the theme usurped my life, spilling over into my novels until love was no longer a small voice, but now my purpose as a writer.”
“There are many premium writers, yes? Tolstoy, yes? He wrote War, and also Peace, which are both premium books.”
“Very well. What do you do as a mercenary?”“I specialize in usurping thrones. They call me the kingmaker.” Bragging now?”
“Security sets a premium on feebleness.”
