3/5/11—Time, depending on the point of view, can pass as fast as a heartbeat or linger for ages like the monoliths of old. Humans have the luxury of fleeting existences. They are like matchsticks, flames that burn brightly, but flicker and die in an instant. Our kind, however, have the soft glow of a fire that one thinks is close to dying but never does. We don't burn as brightly as the humans, sure. But we have been around long enough to know that it is not how bright you burn while you are here that's important, but what catches fire after you've gone.
I think it is an interesting start. Has that otherworldly feel you get from scifi/fantasy stories, which happen to be my favorites.
