~'Dear Holy Avengers,' I pleaded into my interlaced fingers. 'First off, please forgive me for being a prick on Monday. And for lying to Mum about what happened.'~

~No one bothers training their feet for deception because no one else is looking down there.~

~My old English teacher once said that the -cide in the word decide is the same as the one in homicide. 'To chose one future is to murder all the rest,' she warned.~

~In my mind, I was kissing my teeth. It wasn't the fist time I'd been through this, not the first time someone had asked me to rip up my name into smaller, plainer pieces they could swallow.~

~Honestly, who gives a flying fuck about that 2%! All anyone ever wants to talk about is the other 2%. I literally just told you that 98% of people in this world don't get a choice. 98%! Why the fuck are we talking about that lucky 2%?~

~That's what Einstein's equation said: hidden inside even the tiniest bits of matter is an ungodly amount of destructive power ready to be unleashed.~
