“We made our choice, he said. We hunted for them, we guarded their brats. God knows, we helped them make a civilization, didn’t we? And why?
I said I didn’t know; it was beyond me. Because, he said, we thought they knew how to take care of things. How to keep the world full of meat and flowers.”
― Clive Barker, Sacrament
