"Your fate was made from the start," he spoke in a riddle. Each word is alone and disorganized, as an undone puzzle. And the knife in his hand, to the right, and the purpose it had, loosely held by a man who had recently gone mad. "From the start?" the victim could only reply, with his only thought the contemplation of how he will die. Fear had conquered him; bought him, and held him. But that was not his final mad mistake; the man was already dim. "Everything is for a single reason," the assailant fit the knife where it has always been. "Fate is neither ***** nor is it clean." "It is neither late nor is it early." "This the one truth we know truly." "Time is inevitable; it makes slaves of us all." "Your death is undeniable. Rebellion serves nothing but to stall." The knife felt like a sheet of ice over his old his heart, and the last thing he whispered before he died, "From the start?"
