Contemplating Alone
Welcome, thoughts. You are passing through the mess and tangle of electrical signals and chemical compounds known as Percy Jackson's mind. Today, I have decided to contemplate the idea of being alone, and what it really means. While alone, ironically.

Alone.
That's all we really are. No matter how many numbers we have programmed into our phones, how many friends we have on Face-Book or MySpace, we are alone.
We were born alone, walked alone, talked alone, sat alone, lay alone, swam alone, went to school alone, read alone, wrote alone, survived high school alone, graduated alone, got a job alone, lived alone, and will die alone.
Life, at its utmost simple form, is lonely. So I suggest we all get used to it. After all, is it not required that we be alone to discover ourselves?
It is of my utmost belief that being alone is necessary. Without alone, we would all be endless, boring chatter bugs, destined to not have one thought go through our brains before it gets shared, analyzed, and discarded as one of the million other things that we would say as we talked about everything and nothing to our friends or whomever was in the general vicinity at the time that one thought flew through our heads. In other words, to talk, and share, and upgrade our statuses to the point of total exhaustion.
Alone is where brilliant ideas come from. After all, if Thomas Edison wasn't alone, without anytime to experiment or have a stray thought to him, to experiment, we wouldn't have the light bulb or any of the modern technologies that we have today. Rumor has it that he tried over one million designs before he found the right combination, of which we use a more sophisticated model today. But I digress.
'Alone' doesn't mean to be without company. It means to be with oneself. Contemplate this, all of you contemplators. I beg of you to share your thoughts. And I dare you to disagree, once thinking. So I bid thee farewell, ladies and gents, and may your time be merry, and trite… Jeez, when did Annabeth start rubbing off on me?...

Since I have so many one-shots floating around in my head, I have decided to make a one-shot series. This will be called 'The Subconscious of Percy Jackson.' It will remind you at page breaks, since I don't know how to insert the real ones, haha. Alright; quick question- Should I have this series in chapter form, or have separate one shots under the same collective series name? Only wondering.
