"They built this garden ninety years ago to commemorate a great war,"
"It started with a single prince being assasinated. It ended after four years with sixteen million people dead, and most of the Royal households of Europe destroyed or reduced to figureheads. They called it, the War to end all Wars. We call it World War One."
"One?"
"It was a peace for twenty years,"
"World War Two, lasted for six years. The free people of the world stood against a madman named Hitler and his Nazis. The Nazis did not just conquer, they annihilated entire peoples - anyone they deamed beneath them. The world calls it the holocaust. Cities and their people were turned to rubble from the air. After six years, forty four million people were dead. The war only ended, with the use of a terrible weapon, capable of destroying an entire city in a single flash, like a man-made sun on the surface of the earth. It burned sand into glass and turned rain into black poison. "
"When the dust settled, the great powers built thousands of them, out of fear that their enemies might use them first. They built enough to kill everyone on the planet. If there were ever a World War Three, there would be nobody left to fight number four. And they still didn't stop. "
He gazed over the stone and summer flowers and lush, manicured lawns. Above, an aircraft roared on to some far foreign land, smothering the chirping of the birds. The distance humm of city traffic surrounded. Faced with the enormity of Earth and this modern world, Eddard Stark, the Lord of Winterfell, could say only one thing.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
