Excerpts from Pawns and Pieces: You are in line. Anxious, like Max, Mike, Ann, and three other pawns. Behind you are ones of the caste: The king, queen, bishops, and rooks, and the knights, protector of all. The white nation in like ranks taunts. Pawn like you, only unruly, trotted two straight steps to the front, he challenged you to a duel. "I am up," you say, "to the task." You stood up to him bravely- Black to white - pawn to pawn- All lives matter. There, stories your father told you flash before your very eyes. His was a pawn to his death too. His last move was to a white tile- Who gave faith-bishop-took his life. There's nothing his nobles could do
