twelve

That wasn't the best night I've ever had. I know people have made up plenty of stories about the end of the world, but I never expected to actually see it.

It had a happy ending, but I'm not so sure that part of non-fiction.

Shit, spiky. Was that really you?

Do you really think that the fire killed everyone who died that day? There's such a thing as giving mercy. And from what I remember, there were a lot of people who could've used some.

There are people here who can work miracles of healing and bring people back from the brink of death. I saw that happen. Everyone was working to save people, not hurry them along and call that mercy!

Not everyone can be saved. That's one of the few things I know for certain.

What are you saying? You didn't

I'm saying that's how the world works. It's about as far from perfect as you can get. And wishing it were otherwise doesn't make it true.

That doesn't mean we should just give up. Just cause wishing can't save people doesn't mean that actions can't. And even if the world will never be perfect, we can make it a world in which people don't have to fight or kill each other.

I'd like you to be right, Geranium. I really would. I just don't think you are.
