Bastards aren’t that rare,” I observed. “And in town, their parents name them.”
“In town, bastards aren’t so rare,” Burrich agreed after a moment. “Soldiers and sailors whore around. It’s a common way for common folk. But not for royalty. Or for anyone with a bit of pride. What would you have thought of me, when you were younger, if I’d gone out whoring at night, or brought women up to the room? How would you see women now? Or men? It’s fine to fall in love, Fitz, and no one begrudges a young woman or man a kiss or two. But I’ve seen what it’s like down to Bingtown. Traders bring pretty girls or well-made youths to the market like so many chickens or so many potatoes. And the children they end up bearing may have names, but they don’t have much else. And even when they marry, they don’t stop their … habits. If ever I find the right woman, I’ll want her to know I won’t be looking at another. And I’ll want to know all my children are mine.” Burrich was almost impassioned.
I looked at him miserably. “So what happened with my father?”
He suddenly looked weary. “I don’t know, boy. I don’t know. He was young, just twenty or so. And far from home, and trying to shoulder a heavy burden. Those are neither reasons nor excuses. But it’s as much as either of us will ever know.”

Wolf Blitzer: Bizarre news coming out of of the 14th district congressional race in North Carolina. Now, get this: Cam Brady, four-time congressman, punched a baby.

You’re not some distant sound that will fade away. I’m saying you’re not an insignificant, fleeting matter. That’s how I’ve come to think of you. I want to hold you and kiss you. I want you to be my first and last. I want my mind filled with thoughts of you. When they overflow, I want them to just let them be. I want my jealousy to be justified, and I don’t want to feel guilty even after punching someone. But to do that, I must begin. Like you said, our pre destined future won’t change, but may I begin?

“
once, i read the page of the book
you used to read aloud to me.
once, i sat on the chair you used to sit on
and closed my eyes in order to feel your warmth.
once, i even caressed the rim of the cup
you used to use with my fingertips.
an inevitable miracle.
i didn’t want to think that
we met by a mere coincidence.
so, the only thing i can do is to do my best…
to love you.
at the moment, i am… passing through your love.

i guess i’m a loser.
i’ve become a loser because of you.
you’re a very bad deity.
i tried so hard to have a strong heart.
i at least had to become a minor
if i couldn’t become a winner.
because i’m alone, i had to be strong so that i could prevent myself from crying like a weak-minded person.
i thought i became a winner after meeting you.
but i can see now that i’ve only become a loser.

you won’t be able to live your life in the way that you want to…
because that was not the type of life that was meant for you.
i did a little research since i’m interested in things with wheels.
and the thing about these contraptions called bicycles is that
you have to steer the bike in the direction it’s falling
in order to prevent it from falling over.
isn’t it merely that you are the only one
who is unaware of which direction your heart
is trying to fall in?
if you keep trying to force yourself to steer in the other direction,
you’ll fall over.

When the bullets start flying, it’s only a matter of time before fear catches up with a soldier.
Death comes quick, in the beat of a heart, and he ain’t picky about who he takes. The soldiers he takes quick—before they know what hit ’em—they’re the lucky ones. Most die in agony, their bones shattered, their organs shredded, leaking a sea of blood onto the ground. They wait alone in the mud for Death to steal up behind them and wring out the last drops of life with his icy hands.
If there’s a heaven, it’s a cold place. A dark place. A lonely place.
I’m terrified.
