Hello, I'm Zeratide. I've been a member for several years now, and I quite enjoy the freedom of writing that this site gives. It is an excellent way to practice writing. If you're here to read, I hope you like my work. If you're here to write, enjoy!

A letter of contradictions:

Ladies and Gentlemen

Hobos and Tramps

Cross-eyed Mosquitoes

And Bowl-Legged Ants

I Come Here Before You

To Stand Here Beside You

To Tell You All Something

I Know Nothing About

Early One Morning

Late At Night

Two Dead Brothers

Got Up To Fight

Back to Back

They Faced Each Other

Drew Their Swords

And Shot Each Other

The Deaf Policeman Heard The Noise

And Came And Killed The Two Dead Boys

Now If You Don't Believe

This Lie Is True

Ask The Blind Man

He Saw It Too

Some personal favorite quotes:

"You're mad!" "Good thing too! If I wasn't, this would probably never work." -Pirates of the Caribbean

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and try to find somebody whose life is giving them vodka, and throw a party. -Ron White

Silence! I kill you! -Achmed

"Captain Blackadder is totally, and utterly, guilty!" *Sits* *Blackadder calmly turns paper over* "OF NOTHING MORE..." -Blackadder

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." -Taken

"Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I'll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day." -The Grey

When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it. And I had love, but I did not feel it. Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three. And now, in the twilight of my life, misunderstanding has passed into contentment. Love, liberty, and time: once so disposable, are the fuels that drive me forward. And love, most especially, mio caro. For you, our children, our brothers and sisters. And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life, and keeps us guessing. Endless affection, mio Sofia.
Forever yours, Ezio Auditore. -Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Assassin's Creed: Embers
