“If you’ve ever studied mortal age cartoons, you’ll remember this one. A coyote was always plotting the demise of a smirking long-necked bird. The coyote never succeeded; instead, his plans always backfired. He would blow up, or get shot, or splat from a ridiculous height.
{..} I’ve seen human foibles that have resulted in temporary maiming or momentary loss of life. People stumble into manholes, are hit by falling objects, trip into the paths of speeding vehicles.
{..} And when it happens, people laugh, because no matter how gruesome the event, that person, just like the coyote, will be back in a day or two, as good as new, and no worse—or wiser—for the wear. Immortality has turned us all into cartoons.”

I try to not use this too often since that update ages ago. I really appreciate the feedback so far on my story, Son of Mors. I've really put a lot of effort into it, and I hope it comes through. Have the most amazing day. And if anybody wants to talk, just Dm. I like to think I'm friendly :).
