The darkest day in Small History also had a lovely sunset because as soon as the Joes had killed everyone in site, they turned right around and marched away. We do not know where they marched to, or who else was in their way. They could not kill Us all that day, and more of our kind came after, and obviously Smalls thrive today! But in the early 70's life was raw, just the fleeting golden moment between unboxing and unstrung. Some would say that it is the cycle of life, and each deadly swipe we undure is just the whittling knife of Creation. Others blame the problem on scale and points of articulation. These questions and the search for truth can only better Our Kind and make us stronger. History has shown We are unstoppable, and insatiable!
