"A few years ago I knew an aspiring artist; Rafael. He hated his job just like we all did @ the time... But everyday @ lunchtime he would draw comic book style art without a care in the world: I admired that. One day we spoke about comics, Kirby & or hopes for the future... And @ the time I'd given up on dreams of making it in comics but he hadn't... Then one day @ lunchtime he wasn't there... See, the night before, 2 evil men opened fire on a public establishment; killing, among many other people, Rafael.. I think about him sometimes & I think about how much time I've wasted compared to him... He just did it... Cause somehow he knew that time was running out... "
