“Less” by THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GAY

I wait at the bus-stop. Every morning like all the other boys and girls. The bus pulls up and we all get on making feeble excesses about our bus passes. We don't really speak. I am deeply afraid. I worked so hard and now I'm here and I feel nothing but the void that bloomed from me at the start. What was the point? To satisfy nothing?

This is an era of great change. It is always an era of great change. Time is a cycle and reincarnation is a true gift few remember and when they do it makes them throw up. I miss so much and so many which is strange really because this is the point where I forget once more. My life, my mind in many bodies. So many pairs of hands. God, the things hands can do.
