Obviously, I was born one day.
I don't think it mattered, no one noticed.
Not even myself.
The day I did notice my lack of presence, my permanent and absolute absence -
that day I was born for real.
I am the No One.
Once upon a time I decided to abandon my negative presence.
There was a rumour that Phoenix, the legendary bird Phoenix,
the one who possesed the Mystery of Death and Revival,
was captured by Those Who Starve for Eternity.
As always I was terribly late.
The unfortunate Phoenix, so disgracefully caught had already been roasted on a sacred fire and consumed
by a tribe of Eternal Gluttons.
When I finally arrived at the place of the feast, there were only few bones.
And - one little feather.
I am certain that the Apocalypse happened when I was asleep,
in a warm spring Night of the Seventh Seal!
None of the Four Riders gave me even the slightest glance!
I overslept terribly.
Witheld from my last hope, I slowly sank into my usual lethargy, leaving the World on its everyday's decline.
I think I will spend the rest of Time rotating around my own axis.
I still have not decided upon a direction.
