“That was when the world wasn't so big and I could see everywhere. It was when my father was a hero and not a human.”
“You turned into a hero when I wasn't watching.”
“When I was poor, I didn't know how big the world was and what a man's life could be. I was too ignorant to make my dreams big enough.”
“Being nice wasn't as easy as it seemed especially when the rest of the world could be so mean”
“In the beginning, when the world was new and nothing had a name, my father took me to see the ice.”
“I kept quiet, but the knowledge gathered like a storm. I could see the future: My father wasn't coming back. And this one fact seemed to point to other facts and others still: Love frays and humans fail, time passes, eras end.”
