Heads or Tails




“The giant whom you charged so valiantly, you and Rocinante - in truth it was no giant but a mere windmill. None of this was real, this life of aventure that you led. It was all a show put on to entertain us. You knew that, did you not? You were an actor, playing a part, and we were your audience. But now the show is coming to an end. Time to hang up your sword. Time to confess. Speak, Don Quixote!”
