About the quagmires we sink into and don’t want to get out of…
Somewhere far away, some men were raining bullets down on a big bald lonely man, and some bad guys were about to end a girl’s life. Sevil on the floor, me in my chair, our hands helplessly at our sides. I looked at the screen. It was red with blood. Then I saw a man fall to the floor, heard a thin moan and a text appeared on the screen: “Play again.”
“Shall we play again, Sevil?” I whispered.
