[ WP ] You 're a man/woman from the future who lurks in the past , no one is able to see you , or so you thought ...

I've been alive for a long time, longer than I can remember, if that is indeed what I do when I recall some fact or morsel of knowledge about my own life. You see I am not much more than a nomad, and I am certainly less than a ghost. I live on the very fringe of what one like you define as reality. I suppose, by some accounts I might be lonely in my existence here... but I fear, sadly, that I am not any more lonely than any of you humans I chose to observe. 
 
 I hide the things needed for intimacy no more than any of you. 
 
 However today I would become, indisputably, not alone, today I the man with no name, would for the first time develop a need for one. He was staring in a mirror when he noticed me behind him, standing there, watching, watching as I always did, as I only ever could do. He noticed me but he was not visibly afraid. 
 
 “ So this is what lies behind my god's light, ” he observed, “ A man in a jacket somewhat effeminate and yet somewhat foreboding, I dare-say you deal with some sort of set of accounts or other grievances wherever you are from – but then again, as I say it I realise of how little consequence it is of... tell me traveller, what think does one such as yourself think of light, in reflection of course...? ” 
 
 I now was forced to exhume a great deal of air more than usual from my dismal lungs for the sake of saving face, “ I see something I carried with me for a long time... something that I carried with me for a long time, something I longed to be free of, and something that... in the end led me to hate my own father... ” 
 
 “ And then? ” asked the man. 
 
 “ I got exactly as I willed... I descended so far into the pit of darkness that no-one could see me, I was free from scrutiny, from scorn. ” 
 
 My regret was evident... or rather what I had learnt... for I do not regret learning... I never will. 
 
 The man smiled as he saw this in me, “ My god does not play dice. ”
