Autumn Menagerie 22: American Catiline


Young, bold and handsome,
the future spread before
him like a Field of Cloth
of Gold.

Dreams spent.
Promise ground into
fine powder.

He is Legion.

"By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction, the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future."

That's a disturbing quote considering where Zelda's direction led. It also removes change, accountability and for many.. hope.
