cursed

We are all cursed. We live in the era of the curse. A world that cannot be fixed. The best thing would be an alien ship. Another planet. One with three moons. But you, I saw you in my dreams. I saw you coming. You came to heal my broken heart. That's why I named you Ahlam.

My loves have always been seared with this singing, this singing written by death, the way some lands have always been crippled by war.

Witchcraft had once been widely used before cursed by the society. I see today the society presumes technology will have a different treatment.

If you don__ hear the crows of the roosters in the mornings, you are one cursed city fellow!

My jaw went slack. Private rooms? Great, the button thing had been a step too far. Either he was totally getting the wrong impression__t least, not the impression I wanted to give__r_no. I didn__ want to consider the possibility he might know. People didn__ hide in forests in the middle of the night to protect themselves from a Binding. I was just weird like that. Rather, I had no choice, but_argh, what was I going to do now?!

It__ one of my favorite books.__ot and smart. And apparently he was a real-life boy.

I__ an old man, now. I__e been alone since my 17th birthday. I__ wanted to marry, have a bunch of kids, and maybe be a grandpa. The big family around the Thanksgiving table, laughing and pouring wine and cracking jokes and harmlessly teasing the missus__ wanted that. I wanted to do something good with my life__omething right. I didn__ want what happened to Danny, my best childhood friend, to be the only mark I__ ever make in this world. But I thought it best not to fancy such hopes and dreams: a family, love. I__ been cursed by my best friend, and I thought it right not to inflict that curse on anyone who__ be foolish enough to love me.
