The Inspiration:
A story:
Moving swiftly through the streets, a grey mist swirls around her, her cloak a match of color, darksilver threaded to blind the leader’s watchers to her passage. She dips into her pouch, dropping another folded crane along her way.
She knows they watch, raging anger at her actions of defiance, their fear at their failed attempts to stop her. Yet she doesn’t do this for the sheep in restless sleep behind bolted doors.
This is hers, a declaration.
The pouch empty, she leaves the town; turning, stretching out her hands, feeling the shift within.
1,000 cranes burst into flame.

“Lissen,” he started, “lemme explain something to ya. I don’t like explainin’ shit to people and let me explain why that is. You see, I’m not that smart a guy. So when I know somethin’, I figure everybody else knows it too. So when I meet someone who doesn’t, I gotta figure either she didn’t learn it when she was supposed to or she forgot it. But either way, I’m probably wastin’ my explain’ time. So, just pick up your shit and stay the hell off my block.”
