Mistake

Do you feel what I feel? Do you feel it? Do you know it?

Something bigger than us. Something greater than us. Something horrible.

That’s poisoning us. And lying to us. And lying through us.


Are we damned, philosopher? What does that word mean: damned? Who would use a word like that: damned? Only a mad person. Or a religious person. All the real words have to come from religion now. They’re the only words that will suffice.


So evil – so, so evil. I sense it. I know it’s real. They have plans for us – terrible plans. They’ll destroy us. Worse.


What am I feeling, philosopher? What’s wrong with me? Do you feel it, too?

We made a mistake. Somewhere, there was a mistake. Do you feel that, philosopher? I’ve felt it for years.

That there’s something wrong with it all, with … everything. That’s what I feel sometimes. That it’s all wrong.
