I am eternal. A concept as unfathomable as the birth of the universe.
I was there when it ended. I was there when it began again. Again and again…
I hear the bells chiming. The time draws near. The cycle begins, ends, and begins once more. Again and again…
I cough up the red thing. Blood. I always hated bleeding. And now here I lie, bleeding away like a wounded dog.
I am no dog.
Searing rage builds inside me, but it's too late. I always remember when it's too late.
A thousand more years. I will be free. Maybe not in the next life, but one day. Surely.
For I am eternal.
