The Question
Eternal
I've made up some really convincing lies about my childhood. Never told the truth about it, even to people who knew me during the latter part of it.
Never figured it would matter. And the truth is, it basically still doesn't. Nobody who knows me outside of the physical world is going to give a shit. A few people do know me from the real world, but even to them, it's next to trivial.
At this point, I don't even know why I should bother to post this thread instead of just hit Command+A and delete the whole damn thing.
I guess I'll just play it off like it was a joke tomorrow when I wake up and see that somebody has replied to it. Fact is... at this late stage of the game, it really is irrelevant, except for this... could I have been a somebody? Could I have been a contender?
No. I never could have. I was getting hit by 50 kiloton nukes right out of the womb. I had no chance. But I fought anyway, because that's all I know how to do. It's my foundational instinct. I guess maybe the gods decided to show me that doesn't really matter.
Well enough. Guess I've seen it for myself now.
