The Thirteenth
Prologue
When you forgive, you in no way change the past- but you sure do change the future.
-Bernard Meltzer
Without forgiveness, life is governed by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.
-Roberto Assagioli
I looked from quote to quote printed in plain, old black.

Al gave me a book of quotes two weeks after my loss. She said that it would help me. I had no idea how because the last time I checked, people in movies didn't get over deaths by reading books filled with quotes. But this was Al, so I gave it a glance from to time hoping that it would work. It didn't.
The book had various topics and each topic had a number of quotes related to it. I kept looking under Forgiveness hoping to find one good quote, just one, to give me a bloody good reason as to why I should forgive the person I had been loathing for eight months now. But no, I didn't find any. Sure, they all had fancy words, but 'fancy' wasn't what I was looking for. I shut the book, pushed myself off my bed and walked towards my piano.
Music was my one and only distraction now.
