It's been so long since I read the story. I can't even remember what it was about. I think I was expecting more but I just didn't get it at the time. Still, the title and the concept stuck with me. And I get it now.
I'm at an odd point in my life and this took me by suprise. Peace of mind has been lost. There's only one way to go. I wonder if I knew back then that this would happen. I wonder if I knew that I was to be the Stoic Man.
It's funny, because I faced so many trials these last few years and I've managed them all. I've faced devils and gods and stood my own ground. This time it's different, I'm facing myself.
