“I picked up one of the books and flipped through it. Don't get me wrong, I like reading.

Do not attempt to operate heavy machinery after ingesting more than one chapter. Has been known to cause blindness, seizures and a terminal loathing of literature. Should only be taken under the supervision of a highly trained English teacher. Preferably one who grades on the curve.”

Because, Rannoch, he is the only creature that hunts without need.”
