I am struck by how fast they have gone and how much has happened, and I realise that this has been the case every year, and that it is likely to go on for quite some time. I think that is the reason why I remember the date. It is significant to me because it marks the greatest of changes that I can recall (though there certainly have been quite a ( Read more... )

“Then ask!” barked Vincent at me in response to the statements of confusion made in my previous entry ( Read more... )

When I first found myself in the world Outside after having escaped the laboratory that had made up my entire existence for as long as I could recall, I quickly learned that I was different from other people.

Perhaps an apology, or at least an expression of regret that I have been so tardy with updates of my public journal lately, is in order. I have been immersed in several matters, none, I am happy to say, life-threatening or severe, that have kept me busy elsewhere. Among other things, I have been fortunate enough to be employed to write more ( Read more... )
