Red City (New Alchemists #1)

Chapter 26 Interrogation

Prosecutor: And what does it feel like?

Defendant: What, taking sand?

Prosecutor: Yes.

Defendant: I don’t know. Sorry. It feels like you are everything. Like you can do anything. Like you know yourself better than you have ever known yourself. It feels like you can hold the entire world in the palm of your hands.

Prosecutor: And you always want more?

Defendant: Always.
