You're right, motley cow, that's the way it's going to be. But you know what... I know who you are. You are everyone who lived here before us. Parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and before, before... You are the soul of all those who died believing in the happiness that would come in the future. And now it has come. A future in which people live not for something, but for themselves. And you know what it's like for us to swallow.

Is that a Nietzsche quote? Can't think of anyone else who has talked about motley cow off the top of my head.

Anyways, nice layering and even a bit of an S curve going on there with the river.
