III. GODS ON EARTH
{THIRD LETTER TO CARTER}

i once read

that all gods are BASTARDS

but i didn't really see how they were BASTARDS

until i realized that i am mortal

and i will soon die

screw the gods, carter.

they don't understand what it's like to live, to love, and to perish.

don't you see why some walk like gods on earth?

that's the closest thing to immortality

you can walk this earth with feet of gold, with a heart of steel, and with bullet proof skin

if we act like the gods, carter

maybe we'll forget that we were programmed to die

nothing is forever, carter.

i should've known when i met you

every rose will dieWhere stories live. Discover now
