What do you want to be when you grow up?

I couldn’t find the right child meme before sending this to myself, so ya’ll are going to have to use your imagination

How old do you think he is? Ten? Eleven? He looks younger older like this, blood in his teeth from learning how men come apart. (The best way to learn is by example, after all, so be a little faster this time, boy)

He knows the names and lives of sixteen different artists, devours every book he can get his hands on, crows his way through four different languages. (You’re in luck, he only started talking to strangers last year. On the other hand, he hasn’t stopped since)

He dreams about vaulted halls and calculations, maps out scale drawings of every room he’s ever been in in red china marker on the underside of munition crates and practices his looping handwriting with letters no one else will ever read.

He wins only a little over a quarter of his fights, comes away bloody and bruised and singing under his breath even when he fails. He is learning how not to flinch and not to freeze, but laugh in the face of his own death. (Like all lessons, it hurts it leaves his bones humming for days, all restless energy and bottled violence. He is learning)

He doesn’t hesitate, not now, not ever again in his lifetime. “Terrible”
