"You never know how things are gonna turn out, though, and that's the truth. You aim for one place, sure as an arrow, but before you hit the mark, the wind gets you. I don't believe I ever met one person who became what they wanted to be when they were your age."

— Robert McCammon

And the need to hear stories, to live lives other than our own for even the briefest moment, is the key to the magic that was born in our bones.
