The man time forgot.
I am at a crossroads, the left will take me to town, the right will take me deeper into the wilderness and eventually to a clear water lake. I dont spend much time considering which path I should take, I follow the one to the lake.
As I walk and take in the view, I am glad I remained true to myself. That I didnt take the one most would take, the way to the city, where people forget their kindess and leave niceties behind. Where no one knows your name and you know no ones name. Some leave their humanity behind and forget what its like to be civil if nothing else.
I used to think all people were good, that deep down they were good. But now I understand that was naive. Some people are good, but most are not. Some people can only think about themselves, what they want, what they need. They only think about themselves. People like that will only feed their misery. Some people are no good. What hope do we have that they can be good to any one else but themselves?
But that is neither here nor there. I should focus on Redd. So Redd I am glad you are back. Its been a long time, too long. And I wont pretend to know the reasons you have returned, or understand why you attacked your brother Jude. All I do know is that you are back, and thats all that matters to me. You are home and thats all that matters. So if I have to be your first victim then so be it. But maybe I wont, I can fight as good as anyone, and nothing in this life is certain.
There are three certainties. Death, Taxes, and nothing is for certain.
