abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. At your local library they have these arranged in ways that can make you cry, giggle, love, hate, wonder, ponder, and understand. It's astonishing to see what these twenty-six little marks can do. In Shakespeare's hands they became Hamlet. Mark Twain wound them into Huckleberry Finn. James Joyce twisted them into Ulysses. Gibbon pounded them into The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. John Milton shaped them into Paradise Lost.

The Truth About Truth
Hurt... crushed rather. Disappointed and disgusted. Furious yet composed. These are my feelings, raw and unedited. I didn't seem to mind much when you didn't give me the time, the attention, or even a sign. I didn't seem to care that it was a one way street, because I liked you... "you." But I hardly even knew you; and now that I do, I know the truth. I didn't wanna hear it, but I had to. I didn't wanna believe it, but I do. I didn't want it to end this way, but it has to. The truth of the matter is, I wish it were all a lie, but it isn't. I wish you could tell me, it isn't so... it isn't so... but it is. Maybe this is another one of life's ironies: first I lost my heart, and now I lost all respect for you.
