"Ahhh and finally, the future, the end all be all of any conversation pertaining to time. Always looming in inevitability, and yet never actually arriving, since metaphysically the future becomes the present once it does. The future is the one thing we will always have to think about, and the one thing we always have to plan for. Some people plan poorly, choosing the road of instant gratification, and yet up paying for it later. Others choose more carefully, and wind up taking longer to get where they want, but arrive a lot safer. But everyone is not immune to the consequences and repercussions of their actions. We call that karma, children. And karma, like her sister payback, is one hell of a bitch. Some people find that out the hard way, when it's way too late to even say "I'm sorry". Some say it is easier to obtain forgiveness than permission. I, for one, have never been a big believer in that one. But then again..
I am kinda the poster child bad karma.
Oh.. Hmmm that's not right.. wait a minute.. I have myself confused with someone. Now who could that be. Let me think for a minute.
Figure it out, Kole?
But don't feel bad. Some day you'll finally get yourself out of your hole, and then we'll go back to listening to you drone on and on about how great you are. Gee, now that it's over, I think I kinda miss it.

(Friday Night. Dinner. Falcon sits with his mother and sister, eating a delicious gourmet meal prepared by Boston Market. Everyone seems to be eating contentedly as we join during a conversational lull. Then, Falcon gets serious.)
Falcon: Mom... if you guys.. hated wrestling, why would you let Casey watch it?
Mom: We tried to steer him away from that. But, he found other ways to watch. It eventually became so bad that Kevin just gave up.
Sam: He came to stay with us for a week, and he spent all week sitting in front of the TV, watching Darrens tapes from way back in the day. He seemed to be fascinated by the high flying stuff.
Mom: He begged me one year for a trampoline for christmas. So we got him one, and he started practicing wrestling moves on it. Then, your father broke it one day.. "on accident".
Falcon: Must've been tough.
Mom: It was.
Falcon: So, what happened to him?
Mom: He was playing at a friends house, he accidentally fell off a balcony onto the grass. He was in a coma for a while.. then he..
(She stops speaking a minute, tears welling up over the grief of a lost child. Then, wordlessly, she stands up, clears her side of the table, and exits into another room. Soft sobbing coming from within.)
Falcon: Maybe I shouldn't have asked that.
Sam: It's not that.
Falcon: Then what it is.
Sam: What I was told from the police report. Casey jumped off the roof.
Falcon: What? Why?
Sam: His friend was on a table on the grass..
....He was doing a Swanton...
--------------------------
(Sunday Morning. Logan International Airport.)
Falcon: Does that make it my fault?
(Falcon is waiting for board for San Jose. His cell phone sits in front of him. The voice on the other end is Shelly Blake, Angels wife, and a licensed psychiatrist.)
Shelly: It only makes it your fault if you believe that it is. But, from what you've said, it looks like you didn't even know he existed, let alone know that his emulation of you would kill him. But, backing out of the business now, would be the last thing he would want.
Falcon: I guess so. Thanks Shell, you're a lifesaver.
Shelly: Anytime.

Falcon: As awesome as sitting here and carving my wrists into mince meat sounds, I think I'll pass this time. Oh, come on, I know that's what you were expecting. Little bird boy to go all emo and what not. But to be honest, I don't think I'm all that good at pretending either. But you know who's good at pretending?
Kole Kaos
That's right Kole, I don't really think I believe you anymore. I don't think I need to beat the sanity back into you, because I don't think it ever left. At least, not recently. In fact, I'm starting to come to the conclusion that you lost your marbles a good *** damn long time ago. I could go into a whole spiel about birds and dinosaurs, but then I would have explain the whole symbology of me, and I don't think you'd understand that even if I did it. So, all of that means, you're the great pretender of..
Sanity
Kudos to you for convincing your business partners of your mental stability. I'm sure they're looking at you right now and making all sorts of phone calls to lawyers and other such professionals trying to ruin whatever is left of your business persona, but, eh.. what do I know. But you know what I'm going to do to help you Kole? I mean, I know I said that the other day. But as I said, that was the past, and this is the knew present. What I'm going to do for you now is..
Nothing
That's right, I'm not going to do anything to help you. I'm not going to try to save you from yourself. I'm not going to try and ressurect your miserable sanity. I'm just going to defeat you, retain my National title, and then let your ever so loving wife do uncompromising and horrible things to you. Oh believe me kiddo, I saw it in her eyes, you are in for it. But, that is not my concern. My only concern is making sure you hear one simple phrase come Transgressions.
Here is your winner... and STILL... nCw National Champion.. Falcon
Raptor.. Bird.. Turkey.. Whatever you want to call me, you go right ahead. Just remember, it's going to take far more than just an encyclopedia and a pair of scissors to snap my lil neck. Wait? What's that you say? Oh you're too kind! You remember!
You
..Can't
...Kill
....Me
I.. am.. Immortal.. Good night, and good luck.

Is it any wonder
Why I'm scared?
If I was a little younger
Would I care?
Feeling like the walls
Are growing stronger
I don't know if this cage
Can hold me any longer
You never dreamed
You'd have to live your life so guarded
Cuz I'll find a way to make you feel discarded
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on Fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
They want me to go even faster
Never thought I took
My foot off the gas
Everybody loves to be
In on the pressure
But I know they're all waiting
For the Crash
You never dreamed
You'd have to live your life so guarded
Cuz I'll find a way to make you feel discarded
Things have changed
You've become a complication
Can't make it through another days humiliation
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on Fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
Someone
Someone
Someone else...
Is it any wonder why
The answer keeps me petrified?
Is any wonder why I'm scared?
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on Fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
I'm not afraid of tomorrow
I'm only scared of myself
Feels like my insides are on Fire
And I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
Is it any wonder why I'm scared?
