[ WP ] `` In the end , we left the Earth knowing nothing . ''

I should begin by saying that the world around us is much larger than, well, the world. What you would call the'Earth' is merely a leaf on the branch of a cosmic tree, spanning millions of lightyears in all directions, roots burrowing deep into places so dark, so infinitely old, that the collective lifespan of all the humans that ever lived, ever, would not sum up to a tenth of a fraction of the time it would take to reach the base of the tree. 
 
 How do I know all this? I'm just a human; I went to highschool, hated it, went to college, loved it, and work the same 8:30am-5:00pm from Monday to Friday. I go home on Friday, convince myself that I'm going to make this weekend a productive one, and then flash forward to Monday, with no progress made. Rinse and repeat. 
 
 You could call it'luck' that I found the Observer, but there are undoubtedly quantum threads of fate woven through a dimension that the human eye can not perceive. At least, that's what the Observer told me. 
 
 When I first found *her*, because she needed a gender for the context of this narrative, she was n't too happy about my discovery. I did n't realize that I had stumbled upon a sentry assigned to record the Earth's actions for all of time. Having inhabited the Earth for longer than anyone, she was pretty well-versed in the English language. 
 
 I asked her why the Creators left the Earth to go pursue other interests. She mulled it over, and through her eyes, I understand what she was thinking. The atrocities. Genocides, wiping out species after species with no compassion, including our own. Killing and raping the underprivileged in a desperate attempt to ascend to the throne of any given civilization. Sucking the planet dry of the Creators' generous resources. Making little attempt to reach out to the rest of the celestial tree. Forgoing the Creators' ideal image of a human in order to engorge on manufactured cheeseburgers, and somehow still managing to wage constant war. 
 
 I understood why the human experiment was an experiment gone wrong. 
 
 After all the tortuous human history I saw in her visions, she did n't need to explain, but she did. 
 
 `` In the End, we left the Earth knowing nothing.''
