They All Had A Reason Novels & Stories

I held the phone against my ear and made myself think about the question rather than the voice asking it. What did I think. Not feel. Not react. Think. "I thought," I said carefully, "that everyone who has come after me in the last year has had a reason that made sense to them. A grievance. An inheritance. A program they built or a family they lost or a name they believed they were owed." I paused. "And I thought that knowing the reason didn't make any of them right." A silence. "You sound like her," he said. "Who," I said.

We had spent hours in Malachi’s study discussing what possible due cause they could have. Neither of them were involved with the pack, neither of them had suffered any losses like we had. Christian had more due cause than they had. We couldn’t come up with a plausible answer to how they would swing this in their favor and we gave up after a few hours.

She didn't wanna seem ungrateful because she was grateful that she was alive and that her parents had enough foresight to get her off the island as quickly as possible because otherwise she would probably have died as well in some unknown accident caused by his parents. the two didn't wanna speculate on anything that was actually unknown for the reason that they didn't want to believe and too much that they couldn't actually see. The one thing that they both had realized was that everybody had a motive of some sort. Even the others. They knew that the only two people that they could trust was each other.

Their names and why they were here? Things remained in the dark about the specific purpose. Allen understood they were not completely different people. They seemed to share some links with each other. People that were probably united by the same goal, or maybe they were companions. They were here for some unknown reason. Their names were not known, even to them. They knew little except that they were villagers living their lives, since time unknown. Tim said, ”Indeed, our names are not important. What is important is we do what we should be doing. I will return to do my daily work now. I remember that there is much work left for today…..indeed I have to go hunt for meat today. Excuse me”

Rachna's eyes were filled with determination, Richard's hands were animated as he explained his ideas, and Diana's expression conveyed empathy and understanding. They were a formidable team, each bringing their own strengths to the table, and they were confident that they would find a way to overcome the challenges they faced.

The ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner served as a reminder of the limited time they had to produce a plan.

“yes, I m angry! I am mad that the elders knew what Xaver was going from the very first times, years ago! the lives he has destroyed and yet did nothing! And now you tell me it all didn’t matter because I am here with you? I am raging mad!” “then you should know that being mad or hateful to the deeds of the past isn’t helpful to you right now. it all had to happen. It all had a reason. “everything happens for a reason.” “what was the reason for this utmost unbearable pain of a life I have gone through then?” I cross my arms looking at her, convinced nothing she can ever say will deter me. “love.”

With a reason that didn’t fully add up. I needed to protect my son. I had to make sure that he was safe. But how could I do that without making things worse?
