Creature

Have you ever been alone? I’m not talking about been in your house by yourself. I’m not talking about taking a long walk with no company... no. I’m talking about being totally alone. Not knowing anyone, and being the only existing individual of your species.

Have you ever been alone? No. I suppose you haven’t.

Have you ever been unknown? I’m not talking about being a nobody, which you may think you are. I’m not talking about not being famous; not at all. I’m talking about no one ever seeing you. Imagine having absolutely no person know about your existence.

Have you ever been unknown? No, I guess not.

Have you ever been dead? I’m not referring to a metaphor. I’m talking about being dead-literally. Your heart stops beating, your lungs empty, and your skin cold and grey.

Have you ever been dead? Of course you haven’t.

How fortunate you are.
