"...your hatred infects.  it penetrates and permeates its host...splits the skin, seeps out---a pestilent juice---and muddies the earth beneath.  yours is a hate that wants to reproduce itself.  it is organized.  it is purposeful.  evolved to stiff algorithms, precise behaviors that have no function other than to see that the hate is carried from one moment into the next.  and the viral seed itself.  the molecular beast. 

your hatred wants me.  it needs my cells, fresh and healthy.  it needs their factories, their line workers, their internal communication network.   your hatred slips along the periphery of my senses, leaves its scent in the hall.  watches, an assassin in a dark window, for me to fill the crosshairs.  it is patient.  it is veteran."
