INTRODUCTION NPC

A note from your author...

Everyone has a bad day.

For some people, that may look like missing the

bus when you’re late for school.

For others, it may look like an asteroid the

size of Atlanta ready to wipe out the global
population.

But what does it take to turn a bad day into a

good day?

Hope.

Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for

and the certainty of what we do not see.

For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is

seen is no hope at all.

Who hopes for what he can already see?

That’s like saying, “I hope the bus will arrive,”

when the bus is already here.

But if we look forward to something we don’t yet

have, we must wait patiently and confidently.

So I have placed my confidence in the Hope.

I hope you’ll see the Hope too :)

Signed, sincerely, with my own hand,

Assassin, NPC
