Names

        Young man, names are powerful things, you don't just go around using them for no reason. Names seem to be almost like spells in the immortal world – when you say them aloud, it's like performing a certain kind of magic. I think I read somewhere that people always pick aliases  that are subconsciously derivative of their original name. It's a way of not completely letting go of your identity, since your name is so tied to your sense of self. Do you know what else is? Your face. The one that's supposed to be staring back at you in the mirror. Not some hacked up atrocity you can't even recognize.
