What do you want? …fine, go ahead, ask …yes it’s true, it seems like that’s all you care about isn’t it…Oh yes hundreds of years, thousands even …that’s right, I never age, I never get mortally wounded. I can’t die *chuckle*.
…what have I seen?...*sigh* ya know that’s a big question…right up front too *chuckle*…well I guess if I’m going to say it I might as well tell you my whole story. …well as you know a long time ago I discovered the elixir of immortality. I was young, ummm…gosh I can’t even remember how old I was it was so long ago…ummm how old do I look? …18? Wow…that young huh? I guess that makes sense, I was young. You know, full of myself, wanting to explore the world, find something new…yeah, and I did! I mean you know what it was, I don’t need to re-state myself. …How did I get it?...*chuckle* ironically I actually remember that part. It was in a swamp I remember, and I was searching for it, you know, the elixir. I had searched for days and days on end without food or water, but I knew if I was successful then it would all be worth it. And as you know *chuckle* I was successful! I found it, drank from it, and voila! I was immortal! …yes it was that easy. Sometimes I think it was too easy, ya know? It’s almost like anyone could have found it just as easily as I have. …yes I have, I’ve been back there time and time again. Reminiscing about that day…and what it did to me…yes, it did something to me…well I mean yes, it made me immortal…but I think, and this might also have to do with how easy it was to get it, but I think whoever or whatever put it there…knew the consequences… …oh yes there are many! …I know, nobody thinks there is. They all think “It makes you immortal! You can’t die! That’s amazing!” *Laugh loudly*…let me be the first to say…it sucks being this old…this…not being able to die…seeing…others…and…*sigh* *look somber* …*laugh again* is something wrong…No! No no, of course not! Why would something be wrong?! I’m immortal so that means everything is just…sunshine and rainbows!-oh shut up…do you want to know what it’s like…being immortal?...not being able to die?... Oh sure…it starts out great! Get shot, live; stabbed, live; fall, live; crash, live; poisoned, lived; jump off a cliff, live; jump in front of a semi, live; stab yourself over and over again until the loss of blood makes you see white and you…you still live…suicide? …I guess that is what it’s called isn’t it…*smile and sigh* I can only imagine what it’s like… …why? ...Why do I do this to this to myself? Why? …Because…do you know…what I’ve had to go through…no…you don’t know…because before you were even a twinkle in your great-great-great-grandma’s eyes…I had already lived more lifetimes than anyone else will ever even hope to live…and in that time…everyone…my…friends…my…Jenny…*start to cry*…do you even know what it’s like to lose someone you loved?! …no…no you haven’t…not like I have…you see jenny…she…she was just the first…oh there were many more! Margaret, Opal, Gertrude, Linda, Cynthia…the list goes on… Century by century, millennia by millennia I lived with no purpose…I mean…I had already done what I wanted to thousands of times over…until the “big bangs” started coming down…I believed people called them atom bombs…and after a few years of those…they stopped…and with it, I realized the incredible truth…and to this day it still remains true…I…was the last person on earth...no…the last living thing…on earth… …God…why did you do this to me?...WHY!!!! *go limp in arms and head* *come back up as someone holding a clipboard* Linda, go check on patient #154. Margaret, you go with her. Jenny, come with me, we need see how “Mr. immortal” is doing…I hope he didn’t think that God spoke to him again… |
