Excerpt

In every story there are only two things that are commonly shared. There is a beginning to every story and therefore an end. To believe otherwise is to ignore fact, but with every end there is also another beginning; every war must be followed by peace, every frown by a smile. To have one you must have the other; without the opposite there is no way of knowing that one is missing. If a country has always been at war, then no one could know that peace even exists—how could they? They have never seen it.
