Heart of Man

"One need not be a chamber to be haunted. One need not be a house. The brain has corridors surpassing material places."
-Emily Dickinson

"There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser so terrible, as the conscience that dwells in the heart of every man."
-Polybius

ft. Alexander Semin of the Washington Capitals Hockey Club

Many thanks to the both of you. I hope I don’t let you down. (:


Embarrassed by Italy's 9th place loss at the 1984 Winter Olympics in the Ice Hockey event, Governor Amadeo Donatello-Gaetono Trovato spent almost three years in the heart of the Communist nation, scouting for children who displayed the talent of greatness in the making. After all, Russia had a knack for spitting out legends.

However, twelve weeks prior to the beginning of the Winter Olympics, the Italian government discovered something that would be the result of controversy for future events. Did the Italian government want a reason? They didn’t; they wanted to win. Even representation of their country was enough for them. Wife Infertile was their excuse. Good thing she was, otherwise we would have a problem on our hands. Was it going to change everything? Perhaps, but it's not like the world didn't need a little change. Italy may have to wait a decade, but what they were hiding, was well worth it.

Right?
