“This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever:
The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain.
The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew upon your flesh.
You can hear yourself breathing. It comes hard, and harsh, and it scrapes nerves already raw, but you cannot stop it. You can never stop it. You cannot even slow it down.
You don鈥檛 even have lungs anymore. Mechanisms hardwired into your chest breathe for you. They will pump oxygen into your bloodstream forever.
Lord Vader? Lord Vader, can you hear me?”

“Corsican Checkmate by Stewart Stafford
With one loyal warhorse,
I could snatch victory!
You force an ultimatum,
An eagle downed for wrens.
Are you battle steeds,
Or brood mares of a new stallion?
Or do you take my knight,
In impotent checkmate?
I, Napoleon, ruled Europe,
From Brest to Brest-Litovsk,
A chicken feather鈥檚 stroke,
And my empire falls.
You offer exile to Elba,
Reaping rich estates
Which I secured for you,
Silence is my thanks.
Give me your vile scrap,
No death warrant, but close,
I鈥檒l scratch my mighty name,
Here鈥檚 my blood 鈥� begone!
This about the abdication of Napoleon Bonaparte.
