I wondered about the multitude of people passing me by as I made my way through the terminal and began to make up stories for each of my fellow travelers.

What started out as falsehoods eventually came to pass leading me to wonder if Lily was just a lucky liar or psychic.

Liberty was an ideal the government celebrated by keeping its boot heel firmly on its citizens' necks.
