Alpha

You can tell someone is not an alpha when they are always working to be one.  You can tell when someone won't be an alpha for long when they are always fighting to "stay" one.  Price that all men pay is death, which means the best you can hope for is recognition as alpha for a period of time nobody else will want to remember...  which means nobody cares but you and you are nothing more than an ape yelling loudly.. death please...
