Slick Copper and the Thievius Raccoonus: Introduction
This is essentially the opening bit for Slick Copper, I'll put this at the forefront of each chapter I post.
Fear.
That is how it all begins.
That is what makes my being.
That is the future.
Revenge.
That is my sustenance.
That is what keeps me alive.
That is the dream.
Death.
That is my fate.
That is what will bring me peace.
That is the only certainty.
All of that is who I am.
It is all there in the blood, strung around the room like an impressionist work.
It is all there in the looming shadow that towers over my hiding place.
It is all there in the cold steel that closes around my throat.
And yet it is a memory.
It is no more than a piece of the past.
But that does not weaken the power it holds over me.
That does not drive off the fear that grips my body at the merest hint.
That does not quench the burning thirst of vengeance within my soul.
That does not satiate the reaper that looms over me, counting my every breath.
Just as he was when he came calling in the form of five dark figures.
Just as he was when he destroyed the life I would have had.
Just as he was when he claimed my family.
My loving father...Conner...an honest working man.
My precious mother...Merriam...a goddess among mortals.
My amazing and compassionate twin brother...Sly...an irreplaceable piece of my heart.
And now...it's my turn.
Fear...
Revenge...
Death...
Good dogs.
Go fetch.
