Life sucks, and then you die. And then it still sucks.

But maybe, just maybe, if you're lucky enough you get to do the whole damn thing all over again. Get to think you're going to turn over a new leaf, start fresh and make the most of your hair color.

Arthur had had very few things to trouble him over the past few weeks. Life was progressing more peaceably, more smoothly than it ever had before.

She'd been awake when the sky was still dark, gone for a run in that same darkness, and had come back to the compound with only a bit of light breaking here and there.
