He was almost human, he was almost everything.

Tickling the back of his neck she giggled at his mock anger. Just then he heard the phone ring. He had to answer it. It was the executive.

"I have to go out honey" he whispered "I love you I wish I could have given you more"

"You make me happy" she whispered.

"Really?" he asked pleasently, his heart swelled with joy. The sadness was replaced by determination.

*

It is now

I love her

It is now

I need her

It is now

I have lived

It is now

I know it is comming into being I know that I have sinned I know

It is now

Leave me be, let me end this

It is time to come with me

I want to take her with me

There are no promises that can uphold the universe

Death alone can bring peace

death is a void term and you know it

I love her and she loves me

It is now

I have defeated you

It is now

I will not leave

It is that he is changing, It is that you have to return, it is that there are finities out there

Go to hell

You are a star, that is what they call you, you are buring out here, you

have replaced infinity, I am here to take you back. Have you actually forgotten?

She is here, I followed her here, she closed her eyes a millions suns ago and I kissed them closed. But she opened them just a few years ago and asked for me.

She cannot return her to what she was

Neither can I

you are a fool and you know it

no

yes you try, yes you beg, but your mind betrays you, you are not human, your mind finds itself begging eternity for freedom

your mind finds itself loving life and wanting it but always on the

outside.

Please don't take me

I am the executive

you are human now, at this moment, you have to be human to come for me.

I am the executive

You are human

no

It is time for it to end

Others will come

It is time for it to end

you are too quick

I am used to this mortal shell

You are too quick, others will come for you will remember, my death is not in vain.

"This is Henry Jullyburry for Eye on the City. Tonight the surpirsing story of Mrs Henrietta Gordon, aged forty two was brought into hospital yesterday with a strange story indeed. The English woman, originally a model,claimed to see a man kill another instantaniously with a weapon of some sort. It was a blow to the front of the head she recalled. Her story would have been seemed normal all but for the ending. Henrietta claimed that the victim dissappeared, and that the other man followed. This would have been rearded as one woman's illusion, but there were several claims of the same event that day.

The famous psychologist Dr. Tuskany Blake claimed that the incident was one of mass hysteria manisfesting itself as a hallucination, an illusion. Dr. Blake remarked:

" Given years of experience in the field of hysteria and hypnosis it came to my attention that the time of the event was a Saturday afternoon, the place a shopping centre, the perfect place for tired, stressed, hurried people, the perfect place for hysteria to pop its ugly head. My associate, Dr. Craig Fudge termed this the Mall Girl Illusion or MGI for short. Further studies are been done with other shopping malls."

In other news today the astronomer Gilbert Filoffal said that the star Alhpa Cholctyre burned up, colliding with its smaller, close orbiting cousin, the Exeleto.
