as i walked up the stairs i heard people crying, shivering.
i got to the top.
he turned, pointing a gun at me. it was quite beautiful - - the gun.
it made me laugh. i turned my head away from the gun, looked at the people crying, shivering. some were calm. they were all looking at me. i looked again at the gun. grabbed it with both of my hands, in between my palms, put it on my forehead.
and with tears in my eyes i said calmly:
"do it, please. shoot me, please."
he didn't do it, of course. he just looked at me, amazed. made a step back, forcing the gun out of my hands.
"no."
i fell to the ground. on my back. my hands away from my body. my head tilted to the left, towards the people crying, shivering. a tear slowly started going from my left eye, past my ear, then it hit the ground.
"i can not die."
"i can not die."
"i made all this, you see. everything, the swans, the skies, the rains, the people - - the world."
"i am so lonely. so very - - lonely."
"i thought if i had thousands of years to find her, i would. but no. not once."
"generations passed. and many will."
"i will forever be alone."
