After months of research, he had a theory about the bias with which the facts had been fictionalized. He half-smiled at the fleeting thought of his teachers’ claims–“History is written by the victors” and “Maps are designed by wars’ winners” and “Cities are named and renamed by those in power.” But: Where to start? And would he have time for writing at all if he were going to compete for a hockey scholarship?

  23. Sylvester Oswald was this: a madman, a scientists. A creator of an injection that would better humanity.

    Now the water gives way with the way of my hands upon it

    In the blood I didn’t shed
    That drew a shaky, trembling line
    Between the tendencies that once were new
    And who I long to newly be

    Up all night, sleep all day
    And your hands are so cold

    Write about me like Dracula
    Sing about me like Vampire Weekend
    Love me for eternity, oh,
    Suck me dry ’till I can’t bleed
