““A small ounce of hope, maliciously fed, caused all this destruction in my head. He said only one word, just a small possibility…. It resuscitated the soul, without the blue prints to follow. It seems he gave just enough for a taste but he willing starved me of dinner The construction of an empire almost began on the false foundation he knowingly laid.””
