“Reason for leaving your last position?”
“I arranged to have my boss killed.”

Throw the dice, pull the trigger, march the 13th Legion across the ford of the Rubicon and into Italy, toss the pebble down the unstable slope — set in motion ungovernable and unpredictable forces, without hope of recall or correction. You never get the result you planned. The real question is whether you are prepared to accept the consequences you get.
