Drink a super-soldier serum?" "No, no, no," said Iggy. He started reaching for things around the table, and his hand landed on Total. "You're black." "I prefer canine-American." said Total.

I should like to ask you: Does your childhood seem far off? Do the days when you sat at your mother’s knee seem days of very long ago?” Twenty years back, yes; at this time of my life, no.
