Dear Destiny

For a ghastly creature to take in human children, twins nonetheless, creates a scene so unnatural the phenomenon almost disrupts the universe. But Fate is not a mortal affair. Fate moves on undeterred and not even phased. Perhaps the founder of Rome takes a page from his overinflated ancestor. Aeneas, what legacy have you made? The Trojan hero who founded Italy whose life set the standard for the future of his Roman legacy. I say that Aeneas is not a brilliant hero. Just a lucky prince. I say that Romulus is not the chosen founder of Rome. Just a tragic figure who chose fame over family. But that’s not how Fate works.
