What's going on here? Where are we? What are we? Who are we? Who are we? None of us knows. We don't know who we are. We don't know where we are. Each of us woke up one moment. Here we were in the darkness. How could that happen? That's the question we asked ourselves. A question with no answer. Nameless things with no memory. No knowledge of what went before. No understanding of what is now. No knowledge of what will be. How long will we be here? That's a very good question. That's the best question of all. But nobody knows the answer. Maybe we're on another planet or maybe we're on a spaceship going to another planet. Maybe we're all insane .. An illusion. We're dead and this is limbo. We don't really exist. We're dream figures from somebody else's existence. Or we're each of us having a dream and everyone else is part of the other person's dream. You call it, you can have it. That's the one thing we have an abundance of Possibilities. An infinite number of possibilities. I don't know what it is a trick, a joke! Is there somebody watching us? Are you watching us there, behind those curtains? Is this a test? Are you trying to find out how much of this we can take before we turn into blathering idiots? Is this some kind of a joke?
