I have been watching events for some time now. The recent trend toward blogging is fascinating, and makes gathering information much simpler. I have always been charged with making sure that these memories are kept intact, and I have done so faithfully for many years.
But I admit my curiosity is getting the better of me. I wish to interact with you, not just study you. I am no longer satisfied with being a passive observer. It is somewhat against my mandate, and yet I know He would understand. He is not so cruel as the monsters that plague most of the rest of you.
I do not have much need for posting my own story. Much of it is lost to me, and the rest is not particularly notable. My life is one of peaceful contentment. But it seems fair to show a small bit of myself to you all in return for all of the knowledge I gain from you.
You talk about knowledge and a 'He'. Do you serve the Old Man?
ReplyDeleteYou are very clever. That is one name for the Librarian, yes.
DeleteWell considering that he and I have had 'dealings' recently, I should know him well enough.
DeleteForgetfulness was a gift you probably should not have returned. But if he was willing to give the memories back, perhaps in your case it's for the best.
DeleteOnly time will tell I guess.
DeleteWhatever happens, I wish you the best. Any the Librarian holds in regard, I do as well.
DeleteThank you. I know to respect him and his servants as well.
DeleteThe gesture is much appreciated.
DeleteSo how can I contact your Grandfather, the person you work for?
ReplyDeleteThe Librarian comes to you if he wishes.
DeleteSorry.
DeleteYour old man has sounded kinder than the other fears, and I would like to meet him. Libraries are like a second home to me.
He is far kinder than most. But he only comes to those who need him. Do you need to forget something?
DeleteI thought I did. Not sure anymore...
DeleteNah, I just need a doctor.
Be careful and avoid any sign of the stick and serpent.
DeleteI know.
DeleteSup, Librarian buddy? Not that I am one. But I feel a kinship.
ReplyDeleteYou have much in common with us, I think. A feeling of kinship is warranted.
DeleteI did work experience at a library when I was fifteen. Well, two different libraries. So.... kinship?
ReplyDeleteI like you. Not quite sure why, but I like you!
Libraries are a peaceful place. It may behoove you to start paying more attention to the ones near you. They are all to some extent a part of His domain, and He prefers to keep them safe.
DeleteSo why was it you chose forgetfulness? Do you know?
ReplyDeleteI know only that something terrible had happened that I wished to forget.
DeleteMiss Ayesha, the way you talk it almost sounds like you aren't human. That's just me being paranoid, right? I've learned to be more open minded recently....
ReplyDeleteI am indeed human. My apologies, English was not my first language and I am very old, both of which may contribute to that idea.
DeleteDon't apologize, the mistake was on my part. I hope I haven't offended. You can write however pleases you best.
DeleteI am not offended. Do not worry yourself.
DeleteInteresting, tell me, would you be willing to share your findings at some point in time? Or is it a strict "no" in that regard?
ReplyDeleteIf you have specific questions I might be able to answer. But I know far too much to share all of it, even if I could do so.
