“I never knew you to be surprised at the vile nature of human beings,” Finn had said from the bed, while he watched me strip off my uniform. “We kill indiscriminately, always have, always will. People we love, people we don’t know, sisters, brothers, wives, children, best friends, neighbors, rats, snakes. We kill for fun out of car windows and deer blinds, for fifteen minutes of fame, because a bumper sticker says Zero Percent Republican, because the TV is too fucking loud. I’d say tomorrow will be different, but it will be the same.”
