“Are they all
as deluded as you?” he asked blandly as he stood up, “all of these people with
these horrible powers. Do you all think that you can magically change the
world?”
“You’re an
idiot” I spat back at him, “it is people like you who have allowed our world to
get to this point. This is not magic! This is nature, nature at its essence. It
is tangible and it is real and it will be the thing that saves us all.”
“How can a
power that kills, destroys and disintegrates things save us? That’s like saying
a nuclear bomb is a good thing for fucks sake. When has force ever brought
about peace? You should know about history Evelyn, tell me that please, when
has war or global destruction, ever brought about world peace?”
“If a nuclear
bomb targeted everything that was wrong on this planet and left no traces of
its presence then it would be a fair comparison to our power, and it would be a
good thing. A GREAT thing!” I threw my hands up above my head, “I’m done
talking, we’re leaving, Manoel lets go.”
“You’re just
going to walk away from me again?” he said in angry disbelief.
