“allow be”
Drew Avera, The Complete Dead Planet Series

“Longing for death and wishing for it weren’t exactly the same thing. Robert longed for a peaceful relinquishment from this life. What the man holding the gun offered was nothing of the sort. Robert”

"Eventually, slaves will rise and revolt against their bondage, but the dead never rise from the ashes.”
Drew Avera, SoulMatch
