Minions

About Me

Falling over their own feet, unfamiliar in their new bodies, three men stumble forth into the world. Looking around, half-blinded by the light from what seems like a thousand suns, they realise there is something missing. Where, they ask, are the sounds that are lacking from this substance free zone. The time it seems is not right. The three men return to their cave and there, over countless millenia, fashion their weapons. The burning eyes look down from the back of the cave, observing, always observing. And, though born to greatness, the three men struggle on, unknown. Then when the time is right to emerge once more. They turn to the burning eyes for one last time, knowing they will be forever in the debt of that dark force. Then, donning their shades, they walk out into the light and, without once looking over their shoulders, cry out;'We Are Minions!'...and walk on into the world.
