\"Undeading<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGeez, Freddy, all those old movies you love, maybe work some classic action flicks in there occasionally. I\u2019m more or less a parahuman secret agent and long-time loner on the verge of settling down with someone I really love, which means it feels like fate is just waiting for the chance to snatch it away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You\u2019ve got a whole day to be anxious, so don\u2019t use it all up tonight. It\u2019s a marathon, not a sprint.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHello there, Claudius, pleasure to meet you.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes, era-appropriate greetings to you, too.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The anxious, worried nature I was born with would go wild if every test I had to take was more challenging than the last. I\u2019d certainly get in my own head, imagining more and more dangerous tasks still to come. Handling the hardest task first, on the other hand, would let me know that I could take on whatever came next.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It would be disingenuous to say Lillian was the pessimistic sort. A truer assessment would be to say that life had gone out of its way to prove what a bastard it could be to her, and she\u2019d merely taken the message.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
