Pay the Toll

I did not trust the era I lived in, nor did I want to live in it.  The twentieth century had been the most violent in human history.  The amount of killing had no precedent, and I had the feeling it was about to get started again, and once more by those who had never gone to war but gloated over the graves they spread through a neocolonial world.
