“There is a reason the hunt is central to so many narratives. For all that humanity professes to delighting in its own sophistication, it longs for simplicity, for when the world can be deboned into binaries: darkness and light, death and life, hunter and hunted.”

“I made a bargain in my youth, for safety, for survival, and it has all been for naught. I am not safe. I have never been safe.

So why have I tried so hard to create it? All I have made is a prison.

But perhaps if I have never been safe, that means fear has no purpose.

I am not safe if I obey and reduce and control, just as I am not safe if I rebel and shout and anger.”
