"The End of the Game"
November 2024
We ran through the forest
We ran through the streams
We ran through the heather
'Til we ran in our dreams
You were my lover
And I was your beau
We ran like the river
For what else did we know?
One day we'll reach a great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon
The dogs are all worn out
And the horses are lame
The hunters and hunted
At the end of the game
~Sting, The End of the Game
I'm jumping back into 'spoiler' territory for this one; with all that Ace has been through in his life (recounted in the eventually published Tale of Ace Gallagher), all he wants to do is spend time with his lady friend, Keturah, at the end of the game.
