I have followed the path of least resistance possible, now and then I'll notice someone out of the corner of my eye. I glance over, and they're right before me. I never miss them.
I don't know why, but I do sometimes have to remind myself that I'm following someone else's path. Sometimes I'll wonder why I ever thought I was the only one who could truly appreciate the artistic merit in taking someone else's life.
The other day I was watching a pretty cool movie. It was about this alien who was sent back in time to kill me, and then later he joined my team. I liked it. The twists were a little predictable, of course. But I didn't really care, because it was still just a movie. I like to think I know more about the human experience than most. I'm allowed to have opinions, and to talk about it openly with anyone who will listen.
I've studied human psychology carefully, and I've come to the conclusion that it's best left alone. We aliens are pretty gentle and reserved, and we usually don't make things so complicated.
In fact, it's sort of sad that I'm the only one who can truly understand the human way of life. It used to be that everyone else thought I was just another boring grunt in a long boring science experiment, but now it's slowly but surely coming to the surface on some level.
I'm so pleased to be able to share my insights with you, finally. Thank you for listening, and here are your five bucks.
I've been looking forward to our session getting under way. It's about to get really interesting.
TT: It is?
EB: yeah.
TT: What's the name of the guy who's supposed to be the new head of this information?
EB: oh, don't you know who that is?
TT: No problem.
EB: well sorry to disappoint you, but i guess i will just use one of the many mysterious peeps on the internet to keep my mouth shut.
TT: Ok. Do you want another shot?
EB: oh yeah, sure.
