I am but a shadow placed neatly at the back of your head, I do not know why you fear me I am your long time friend. I hear you scream at night desperately calling for my name.
Life — and I don't suppose I'm the first to make this comparison -- is a disease: sexually transmitted, and invariably fatal.When the first living thing existed, I was there, waiting.
I am the divider of the living from all that has come before, and all that must come after...When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave."I find myself wondering about humanity. Their attitude to my sister's gift is so strange. Why do they fear the sunless lands? It is as natural to die as it is to be born. But they fear her. Dread her. Feebly they attempt to placate her. They do not love her." (Brother Dream, I love thee)
