" But this time I see a new person. Silent. Still. Someone I believe I know. WHO ARE YOU? I move closer but the face is shrouded, the features blurred as if seen through a dirty lens. I’m tempted to run away, but I don’t. I know where running leads. To the hole. To death. I know I can no longer fear. "

― Peter Lerangis , The Colossus Rises (Seven Wonders, #1)
