To epitomize the world in which we live, we must first step back and remember that we are flawed. But to understand the world in which we live, we must recognize that man realizes just this: the good exploit the flaws and the wicked jeopardize their existence by playing man against perception and ultimately losing themselves to Fate. "If I have learned anything in this extraordinary existence, it's that only humans have the potential to be utter perfection." ...Gabrielle Baelish is the melody of the birds and tune of the bards, the most beautiful woman to ever live and the most wicked witch to take breath. But "wicked" is a two-edged sword, where she is a traitor to some and savior to others. She is the light that reveals the flaws of all people, the shadow-caster of perfection in every facial crevice. She is the flame that lights the way, the chance of redemption for all forbearers' children... "You and I are the same, Jon Snow: just one step behind perfection and deeply engrossed in sin." //////////////////////////////////////// GAME OF THRONES, SEASONS 1-8 DISCLAIMER: I do not own Game of Thrones or A Song of Ice and Fire.

Without breaking eye contact, he poured a fresh cup of coffee from the nearby pot. He handed the steaming cup to her and she laughed as she took a sip.

TRUST NO ONE. KEEP MOVING. STAY ALIVE. When the outbreak came and the dead walked Jo and her family promised one another to survive no matter what.

When her sister becomes ill they are picked up by a group who claim to want to help them. Their leader, Rick, was a police officer and refuses to leave them behind.
