"Please, Lord. Help me get one more. Help me get one more. Please, Lord. One more. Help me get one more." - Private Doss, Hacksaw Ridge. (Along that lines..)

Yet I couldn't stop thinking about scene of the crucifixion.

You've been

so used

to being

used all

your life

that you

don't know

how to

react to

simple gestures

of kindness.

You don't

need to

feel indebted.

Know too

you have

every right

to also

be loved.

You can

be loved.

You can

be loved.

Count how many times your good deeds made you smile.

In the woods

I tried screaming.

And all I could hear

are trees falling.

And no one else

to take notice.

Was I, on the top

of my lungs, screaming?

Or were there any trees

that are actually falling?

In the name of God and justice

or in the name of some nameless girl.

Which of these two is said

to justify more killings?

To let his deaf audience see

"And what is this anchor you mentioned?"

"Isn't it obvious? The main character is just that so powerful that even the author would have a hard time how to defeat him."

"Author, you say?"

"No, I.. I mean, someone who is of great power that the author makes won't even rival the main character."

"Go on."

"This ancor I'm talking about is something like a weakness or maybe not a weakness but something that holds the main character down from becoming too powerful or rather going off track."

"Not a weakness but a weakness, and something that keeps the main character go off track."

"As the word itself, anchor, it holds him to his believe, of some sort, and when he is about to do something beyond what seemed to be his own definition of what's right but is still right, he wavers himself. He stops and tells himself, wait this isn't right, drops his sword and rethinks for a better action. Or if he had already done it, this certain anchor will either haunt him to turn himself in or to make himself better."

"Mind telling me an example?"

"The sister of the greatest son of Britania. The code of a certain vigilante in a far off city of crime. A new way of life of a sinner atoning for his sins. The mother of a child dreaming to be a hero. The son of the same child who dreamt of becoming a hero and became one. A hero's precious friends and dearly loved ones. There are many more and these anchors can be a person, a thing, a pet, an animal, some sort of principle or code, whatever it is, this anchor holds the character in place than going outside his actual role."

"A ship's role is to travel. Carry things or people, from place to another. If that is the anchor you mean it, then, what's their purpose, this character you are mentioning?"

"That is true. The sea takes on ship to far off places and so does the story. These anchors are there, sad to say, to be taken off so the story can go on and character gets develop."

"Doesn't that just mean the characters will be placed in great turmoil and grief when these anchors are removed. What more of the anchor of the main characters?"

"The hero becomes the villain. If the anchor weight just so much and he gets freed from it. Or if he can overcome this certain event then he develops for the better. A character can have multiple anchor throughout his story."

And they didn't even bothered

Asking me my name.

It's a given I'm just footsoldier,

A pawn, a number among the count,

But don't any have this common decency,

At the very least,

To ask someone who they are talking to?

I am no machine.

I have a soul too.

But in this day and age,

A simple conversation is enough,

at the very least,

To know one is still living.

"I believe in the injustice this world we live in."

"You mean justice, right?"

And you know why

I have mixed feelings about her?

Don't say that I'm in love with her,

that's the short and simple answer,

I'm conflicted about it,

it's the truth though

I can't say it is the whole truth.

Let me say this with a

Breath held with secrets,

In some reality,

In some far off universe,

Truth is,

In one of those distant place,

I killed her.

It isn't me, me,

but it is me but not me.

Which is why I am

conflicted.

Don't ask me if in another

I married her,

because I actually did.

Obviously.

But there are two me's

that I saw.

Of course,

the place I married her

isn't just one,

or two.

I only saw two of them.

One is where we're struggling.

The other is wherr we're living our dreams.

Odd enough,

In those three instances

I mentioned,

twice I married her

and another I took her life,

in all those times,

the many she's,

that isn't her, obviously,

is actually smiling.

It wasn't even a forced one at that.

It was not a facade.

It was a genuine smile.

I don't to die.

I don't want her to die.

I don't want to get hurt.

I don't want her to get hurt.

I don't want to cry.

I don't want her to cry.

I want her to save me.

I want to save her.

The sand castle he helped built

Gets torn down by the fate and ebb

Of the constant tide.

All the times spent wasted

On that exact golden hour by the sea.

He can do nothing but watch.

"This is the happy ending I- we deserve, you deserve. I love you. I love you more than anything else. I would not care whatever happens to this world. Let this world burn if it has too. You're the only- W-w-why- You aren't happy? You deserve so much more. This world doesn't deserve you. That sadness in your eyes. Why?"

"This is not your end."

"W-w-what?"
