Tale of An Antagonist

The man in the mirror.

This is as he sees himself.

And so he apologizes for what he is.

What he does.

If he could take it back, he would.

But this man, who stood up against titans, wasn't just an antagonist.

He was THE Antagonist.

He stood up against inequality.

Against corruption.

And even against the government.

They called him a terrorist.

And indeed he put terror in the eyes of his enemies.

And 'tis it is why this story. These stories are so tragic.

No matter how strong or morally right you may be.

In the end, any demon can come for you or me.

And so this battle continues, from the shores of the living room.

To the battlements in the bedroom.

My father fights these specters.

So feverently, my father fights for freedom.

And one day.

All our hopes and dreams.

Will lie in the mind of...

An Antagonist.

I want to make a book series based in alternate universe set a few decades in the future. I'm hoping to make a living as an author and appreciate any support that you can lend me along the way. Cheers!
