have you heard about conscription, friend?
what a time to be alive, but don't go and blow
it overthinking the plot. and don't become a guest
star in your own arc. stay the protagonist, and
make sure to hang around the love interest --
but not too long. you must know when to trigger
the absence card. very powerful. with it, you'll
go far. probably. the few, the proud, the strong,
the dead. what's the difference? suss it out in
your head. time enough to get right with your god.
remember the thread:
without action, well, the story begins to plod.
