Fictoid: Stop Me If You've Read This Before

almost every sci-fi / fantasy / superhero epic out there

he pushed the big blue button that made

the red things fight the green things

they fought and fought and fought to prove some obscure point

their sufferings?great

their crimes?heinous

their philosophies?brutal

their hearts / minds?filled with hate

their blood sang of fire and ice

and in the end

the heroes won

and virtue triumphed

it always does it always will only survivors get to tell their stories
