The Dark has eyes, crazy, vengeful, angry eyes. He has seen the dark show its hungry, bright, shiny fangs. He has seen it grow and tower over him. Mance has seen the truth but the darkness, this creature, still shields secrets to be illuminated: it is a human creation with a past. The product of a long-deceased woman, invented to protect her children from their fears, the living dark must continually feast on flesh.

And as if that weren't enough, we just found out that someone Daddy sued years ago is back in town, making shady business deals again.I don't know what all of this means, not yet. But I do know that if you try to mess with my dad, my friends, or my friends' dogs, you've got trouble on your hands. Trouble that goes by the name of Force.
