December…..14th….. 2010

Why is it that this specific date is stuck on my mind?

I can't get it out. I try… I honestly try to think of something else. But what is it to think of?

…..

What do you mean by you don't understand? What is it to understand? Surely you don't have any questions in mind?

Oh….You're curious about me?

No .. don't get it wrong. I'm definitely not mad. I'm just curious about you being curious about me being frustrated about a fact that is currently unknown which did make you curious which takes us to where we are now, if that does make sense..

Let's see, I'll make you a deal. I can… tell you everything I know. Everything I see, to satisfy your hunger.

Yeah yeah.. I'm a priest, but! There's a but in this deal. Alright uhm… let me try to make more sense.

I'll do it, BUT! There! Now the sentence made sense… wait did I just ruin it again? My apologies… let me try again.

I'll do it, but…there is a catch. There, now it is corrected! Oh, wait I ruined it again. I should try to finish my sentences before I start blabbering about how perfect my sentence was. If I keep on interrupting my sentence, the perfect sentence will be ruined!

What? I say sentence to many times? Hahaha… no I'm not laughing of you. I'm laughing of the irony! You see, I had said sentence in a specific amount of times, yes that's right! 4 times!

What do you mean by "What so special about that?" no, don't tell me what you meant. I'm just saying… well the reason why is so special is because four is a special number. And so is: 0 , 2, 6 , 8 , 20 , 22 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 , 48 …

Sorry, now where were we? Oh, the catch. Let me try again.

I'll do it, however...

Oh sorry let me try again. This came out wrong. I was supposed to say "but" Not "however"

"What's the difference?" Well you see, in the sentence there some very short words there. For example: " That was very good, " Fits better that " That was so brilliant! ".

Do you see where I am going? Yes? Good! Look good fits her as well!

Hm? I don't always do it with my own sentences? Well there is a reason. I will tell you after my catch! Yes I almost forgot about that!

I'll do it, but there's a catch. You want to hear it? Alright then!

Patience.

That's what you need. I want you to be calm as I tell you the story in my own pace. You got it? Good!

See now I did again! I think "Good" is quite a good word, don't you?

What? I was supposed to explain why I lacked the same obsession about words before? Oh the that's very easy. I was supposed to make you annoyed by explanations! Did I do a very good job? Yes? No?

Hm…. I am very sorry if you think your time has been a waste. Let me start by opening my eyes. If I can that is… You see… while I have been talking to you, my eyes have been closed.

I'll tell you what I see and feel. Is that a good prize for you? I am rewarding your outstanding patience with someone as obnoxious as me.

Anyway,Let us start…

To say the truth. I didn't want to open my eyes. It was very….nice to keep them as they were. And …. something about this situation makes a voice in my head scream "No," Well, a promise is a promise, right?

Opening my eyes may be the hardest thing for today. Not that I did anything hard. I just "woke up" and started to talk to you….in my mind….

Tell me: Am I going insane? I am simply talking to a voice in my head, making promises. Giving out rewards. Pretty much insane here..

Well anyway I opened my eyes. Even if I want to close my eyes I am keeping them open for you. It's still kind of blurry. I think I can see the sky.. if the sky if completely white.

No it's NOT covered with clouds. I wasn't born yesterday you know. And the sky isn't grey and full of.. imperfect shapes of the clouds. Oh no, it's just white. As white as.. as…. Baby teeth?

"The worst example ever?" Well excuse me, you are the one that told me to tell you what I saw. It's not my fault that I ran out of things to say! "White as snow?" hmm might have been good, but the white color isn't the same as snow. I got it; White as a blank page! It fits!

What do you mean by " It's the same as snow?" A blank page doesn't really remind me of snow… You…you're kind of weird you know.

Anyway, let me continue my brilliant skills of observation before this no-body that can match the stupidity of a donkey interrupted me. You see, I hate when people disturb my tasks. I want my task to be perfect….

Ehem… as I was saying the sky was as white as a blank paper sheet. I guess that means I must me laying down on the ground. Which makes me see upwards. There is no wind, but I can see the sky. There's a high possibility that I am indeed outside.

I moved my head to the right. Surprisingly enough.. I am laying on the ground outside. Yup! I thought so… wait, how long have I been here? And why isn't my back aching from laying on the hard, and cold ground?

I guess it's time to stand up. Yes… the challenge of my life. To stand up from the ground. Okay, I need to go easy first.

Lift my right arm. No pain. That's good.

Lift my left arm, feels weird, but other than that: Its fine.

Lastly, use them to lift my body.

1…2…..3….4! And push up!

Again, I am happy to say that it didn't really need that much effort. Actually I feel very light. And healthy.

… You haven't really been talking that much have you? If the reason is my insult towards you then I am truly sorry. Could you forgive me?

Great! So.. I should probably tell you what I see.

Again I am surprised to say, it's nothing… except from the straight grey ground and that tree over there. There is nothing to see.

Hm? How can I not see anything more? Well if you try to see past the tree you only see a bit mist over there. Other than that… Nothing more…

Oh well. I guess my part of the deal is…what? What about me?

Oh… you want to know more about me. Well I can safely say I am a boy, and… wait a minute let me just do something. I lift my arm towards my head as I take of a piece of my hair…..

What is it now then? Oh! Why am I describing like this? Well I want you to know exactly what I am doing. Anyway, I have black hair, I am a boy, judging my hands I am a bit skinny, around 179 cm. pale….

"Stop being weird? " now that's a rude question to ask! What do you want to know. Try to be a bit more… precise.

My name? oh I probably have a name. all people have it. Hahaha….

" You're scaring me.." Now what did I do? And don't you know it's rude to ask for a boy's name without telling your own!

…

I walked towards the tree as my bare feet quietly took one step at the time. I realized that I was wearing some clothing. Well it's not so much to say, a white t-shirt and a white…. I'm not sure what they called. Well its loose and easy to put on. I'll just call it training pants. Great name.. Great name…

What now? You were quiet for a moment ago, what happened to that?

… you still want to know my name.

Alright I'll say it.. I don't have a name.

I don't know who I am,

I don't where I am from

I don't know where I am.

…..

Is it all coming to fast for you? Well guess how it felt for me to only remember 10 minutes before my death and still not know who I am!

You want to go away? Fine suit yourself. Go… go away…

Hahaha..

"why are you laughing?" A silly question to ask. You can't get away. You are stuck with me. Tell me. Who are you?

No answer, huh….

I'm not sure what is going on, but as long as you can't answer that question, you are stuck with me. Don't worry , it's not the end.

Or to put it in a simple way.

It's only the beginning
