Present Day:“It doesn’t count if you’re already planning your defeat!” Finn cries angrily.I look at him with somber eyes. He knows me better than anyone, and he can tell that I am at the end of my rope. I shake my head and turn away.“Marlow knock it off, you’re scaring me.” He pleads. I can see how much this is hurting him. The pain is written all over his face.“Whats the point Finn? This is it, there’s no more for me. I have to go.”5 months AgoI can’t believe it has actually come to this. They said on the news that we had years to prepare, ...
