there are never enough hours...

I don't believe in God with a capital G and, despite their obvious solidity, I don't believe in the gods with their small g's. Not as real forces in the universe. But I do believe in the bitch-goddess Irony. She crosses all time. She rules men and gods and God alike.
And She has a wicked sense of humor.

"Yes," said Hector, his gaze pained but steady. "But I'll be dead, with the earth over me to muffle your cries."
