XVII → His Days Are As Grass

How strange.
Years pass overnight.

A curse, but still.

Hmn. I feel no different.
Some do. And look different too.

Heh. Like prophecy. Like seeing the future.

But it reminds one how fleeting life can be.

And the world goes on.

If we were affected, we would be dust.

((OOC: They probably had a Flood since God was an ass and TOTALLY his style. At least "Katan" is younger than Rosiel or Alexiel *g*)).
