Immortality

I write because I would like to live forever. The fact of my future death offends me. Part of this derives from my sense of my own insignificance in the universe. My life and death are a barely momentary flicker. I would like to become more than that. That the people and things I love will die, wounds me as well. I seek to immortalize the world I have found and made for myself, even knowing that I won’t be there to witness that immortality, mine or my work’s. I need to more than that tiny flame, flickering in the listless darkness that is soon to destroy it. No, I must share that warmth and light with others around me, and show them my world, my escape from the reality around me, my safe haven, where adventure awaits at every corner and dragons perch on top of cellphone towers. 

Forever and always, I welcome you into my world.
