I am of the stars. I am called "forever". Eternity courses through my veins. It is cold beyond |
|
your sun where we come from. We seed the universe with the milk of a million moons. You are that |
|
seed. Your earth is our experiment. We vanquished the dinosaurs with the careless trajectory of |
|
a child's lost meteorite. We peopled your planet to experience your emotions - such feelings |
|
lost to us aeons ago. How we envied you your loves and passions, your dangerous desires. |
|
The fires of your emotions gleamed like lost beacons in the darkened depths of the fathomless |
|
universe. And eight of you, plucked from Time. Not randomly, you understand. Representatives of |
|
your world's turbulent history. We have observed your tribulations from nameless nebulae. |
|
The experiment is over. I am weary now. So tired. I too am far from home. Open the gate - |
|
complete the circle. You won't remember - you won't recall - for I am only the air that you |
|
breathe, after all... |
