Prologue
I am trapped, standing here at death's door. Yet I know I cannot step past. Not now, not ever. I do not lack the will, for I wish it with all I am. To be cursed with eternal life, watching all pass me by. I wait for that moment when I can finally be at peace… with everyone.
The Earth had changed a great deal over time. It was the year 2596 and the human race was just as lively as always. At this point, a lot of the race had gone off to other worlds outside the solar system but a good number remained on their home planet. Cities were not as crowded as they were; some had even been demolished to revive the land they had taken over when the population boomed, just before other planets were discovered. Even though it wasn't as crowded, the big cities reached high into the sky with tall impressive buildings, jam packed with the latest… and useless technology that had been created.
Despite everything, He still thought it was a lonely place. A lonely place that was hiding this fact in fancy technology. He tended to stay away from these huge cities, the smell always giving him a headache. He preferred the "smaller" cities and especially loved the small towns, which still popped up everywhere he went. He could blend in anywhere he wished. Nowadays everyone had a variety of hair mixed with skin colors. Natural genetics no longer played much part. Everyone was able to change their very genes to make their hair of choice natural. So his fair blond hair and tanned skin hardly stood out anymore. In addition, eye color was also a thing of choice, making his purple eyes completely normal. However, there was just something about him that made him stand out. It wasn't physical at all.
