Can't Fight Time Ch. 01

Not a bad start.
However needs to be edited. eg the quote is wolf in sheep's clothing among others

...if it were me....

"And how exactly does that relate to the Arab Spring, Ms. Strathmore?" her professor asked caustically, sending her a look that her fifth grade bully would have cringed at.

"Nothing directly, except that for those young people our age at the heart of the Arab Spring, they must be thinking and acting along the lines of Mark Twain's quote."

it good as always

im jus wondering if or when u will actually finish ninas story... i really would like to know what haplens to her but u seem to be more interested in being a perfectionist than finishing and then tweekin it to suit

I know where the lines come from

Ella Fitzgerald - Night and Day

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Yes!

Haha, you are correct it's one of my favorite songs and it worked perfectly for the book. You'll see it pop up a lot. Nice one!

contariwise

Sheep in wolfs clothing is very clever. Think "The banality of evil."

"The only point of contention between a wolf and a shepard, is which of them gets to eat the lamb.

The greatest failure of strategic planning of American foreign policy for the last half-century. Is the failure to comprehend that those who have nothing and no hope for the future.

Those who have nothing worth living for. Have every reason to believe that their escape into the mystery of death they might find hope.
