[felcin]: 577.Faeries

The one thing that I can understand is something that I don’t know. I know that that sounds mad, but what I don’t know I can relate to, because it is one of the few things that I can make up in my mind, and I like having the power to make something up and pretend that it happened, even if it didn’t. It gives me some closure, because not everything is how I want it to be. Hell the faeries taught me that. What faeries you ask? No I haven’t gone mad. Can you not feel the one that sitting upon your head? She is small, like most faeries and she is wearing a midnight blue dress. Her name Leithany, and she is probably the most beautiful of all the faeries.
You can’t feel them can you? It is a pity, they are very cute. (A small laugh echoed from within.) Shhhh, I told you to stay quiet. Sorry, just little Balthar in the tree. He likes hiding from people, yet he seems to find your apparent ignorance very amusing. I can’t believe you don’t know of faeries, that is very odd where I come from.
Where you come from? The person asked. Yes where I come from, Tefelonia. No such place exists, you are just a mad person that has lost all bearings on life, and are seeing things. Possibly, but could it not be you that is mad for not being able to see the creatures that inhabit the other dimensions? I’m not mad. How would you know? I just do, no one else can see the other ‘creatures’. How can you be so sure? Have you talked to them about it? Have you actually asked them if they can see the creatures? Of course not, they would think me mad. As you know think I am mad? …Yes. So doesn’t that make us the same? No! You see creatures, I don’t! I am normal and sane. That’s what you think. What do you mean? Nothing, nothing at all. No you do, you think that I am actually mad don’t you? Yes. You are just as mad as me. But you repress what you don’t like and cannot understand. Whereas I embrace it. I welcome the change of the new and the old. The old gets boring, yet that is all you are willing to accept. That is something that I cannot comprehend. I’m not mad! You can just keep telling you yourself that, one day you might actually believe it. I believe it already. So accept it and look at the beautiful faeries. There are no faeries! Yes there are, and when you are on your deathbed, you will see them and understand me. You will welcome the new and embrace it and wish for the old to disappear. You’re just mad. Whatever you want to tell yourself, but I will see you in 436 days 22 hours and 34 minutes. Why? What is happening at the time? That is the time that you will lay on your deathbed. I will come and visit and make sure the transition is easy for you. Then you will take my place. I look forward to see you soon. Wait, don’t go, what do you mean take your place? My time is up, I must go, just believe in the faeries and they will tell you all you need you to know.
The presence disappeared and did not return for another 436 days 22 hours and 34 minutes. Much to the disappointment of the human.
