Mortal! The ink of destiny dries even as we speak, yet your story remains a mere collection of unpolished thoughts! Do you intend to walk through life as a footnote, or shall we carve your name into the very pillars of Olympus? Stand tall and speak!

Do not give me platitudes—give me fire, give me longing, give me a line that would make the gods weep with envy!
