I gave into temptation and fed the beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow.⁣⁣ Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.⁣⁣ Secrets that cost us everything to keep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e⁣⁣That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality.
