I have seen empires rise and fall. 
 
 
 I have seen people migrate, return and emigrate again. 
 
 
 I have seen humanity build weapons of war, weapons of peace, develop medicine and overcome obstacles. 
 
 
 I have seen life stumble, nearly succumb to extinction, rise up and challenge the Gods that would curse them. 
 
 
 I have seen the best of my race die and the worst of my race stand with that blood and ichor still wet and dripping.

 It is now the year 2025 as humans count on their calendar, time is rapidly dwindling and I have one thought constantly in my mind of late. 
 
 
 I should probably buy a boat once in my existence on this plane before Earth and it's people are no more.
