We were halfway back to the fireplace when Set caught us by surprise.He was going on with his list of ridiculous ingredients: And snakeskins. Yes, three large ones, with a sprinkling of hot sauce-- Then he stopped abruptly, like he'd had a revelation. He spoke in a much louder voice, calling across the room. And a sacrificial victim would be good! Maybe a young idiot magician who can't do a proper invisibility spell, like CARTER KANE over there!Menshikov stared right at me. My, my... how kind of you to deliver yourselves. Well done, Set.Hmm? Set asked innocently. Do we have visitors?

As they were making their way back to the fireplace, Set unexpectedly interrupted them with an amusing list of bizarre items needed for a spell, including snakeskins and hot sauce. Just as they were getting accustomed to his antics, he suddenly shifted his tone, loudly suggesting the need for a "sacrificial victim," narrowing his focus on Carter Kane, who he mocked for his invisibility skills. This surprising turn revealed Set's mischievous and threatening side.

Menshikov, observing the scene, responded to Set's proclamation with a hint of sarcasm, acknowledging their presence and seemingly congratulating them on their situation. The encounter underscored the tension in the room, as Set's playful demeanor masked a more sinister intent, leaving Carter and his friends on high alert while navigating this dangerous game of magic and manipulation.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.

My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.

There's lying," says Mum, fishing out the envelope she wrote the directions on from her handbag, "which is wrong, and there's creating the right impression, which is necessary.

Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.
