The bad thing caught you. I’ve never retreated in my life…

“The bad thing caught you. I’ve never retreated in my life. I’ve never backed away from a fight and I’ve never cowered in fear. Ever. That’s not who I am. But I’ve been in combat long enough to know that when something unbeatable chases you, you do the only thing you can do. You run. - Gabe” quote by Courtney Cole
