the same warning over and over?”

The nurse was still looking at me. "I hear she's a whiner," I said hopefully. The nurse shrugged. "She asked me to call you.”

Off with the blinds on justice
The two of us —

We have reached the end of the road.
We stick to our guns, we cut and run.
The mourning period, has just begun.”
