Espree is staring
at me with a shocked expression on her face.
“Apparently we have neglected a very important point here Tim. Apparently the times I have describe to you
in terms of millions of years flew right over your head.
“When I say you
have become trapped in this universe, I did not mean it just happened! This has been going on for billions of
years! Most people you see have been
around millions probably billions of years!
Do you realize how many lifetimes that is? Can you imagine how many memories you have?”
I am shocked. Of all the unbelievable things Espree has
told me, this is the thing I simply can’t accept. It’s so…it’s so personal. Sure, you can tell me the Universe is a trap
or the planet is being harvested or even that I was once a free spirit who has
become trapped. It’s a nice philosophic,
abstract idea that I can use when I’m in some contemplative mood or sitting
around smoking weed with my friends. Now
she is telling me I may be millions of years old and that I actually have memories of the whole
experience. Well, I don’t. And If I did I’d know it wouldn’t I? I would certainly have some kind of
recollection if it were true right?
