Pain can be rigorously hard to define when you are unable to trace it well. Uday wished he had the pleasure of being unsure - of perhaps chalking his pain up to something that wasn't as mundane as eight bullets fired from the gun of a Shi'ite. The fact he now had all the time to reflect on it...

Um, leaving these here...

In reading Heath's memoirs I've come across the figure of Richard Fort. Killed at the age of 51 in an easily butterfly-able auto accident, he was a member of the One Nation group along with Macleod and as a former chemist, held a considerable interest in science matters. Had he not been killed...

I'm not sure anyone will be living in that world after Scully.
