Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

A price is always exacted for what fate bestowsaadapted from Zweigas Mary Queen of Scots.
aIam a nobody, with no time to notice the brightness of the sun.
aMy parents couldnat help me, and I wasnat highly educated. I had no choice but to make it on my own in the city.
aIad applied to many jobs, but no one ever hired me. Maybe itas because Iam not good at expressing myself, and Iam not the best communicator. I guess I just havenat shown enough ability.
aOnce, Iad eaten two loaves of bread over a three-day period. Hunger kept me up at night. At least I paid a monthas rent in advance, so I didnat have to face the cold winter wind outside.
aFinally, I found a job at the hospitalas morgue, keeping vigil over the dead.
