My future had always been set. Like a road paved by skilled builders, without bends or intersections, I walked the path my parents laid for me.

Until it wasn’t. Until it became dark with shadows.

I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.
