Art of Disappearance January 13, 2003 - 12:35 a.m.

"So afraid. So pathetically determined to run away from whatever it is you used to be. To disappear. Congratulations! You got your wish." ~ Buffy: Episode 'Anne' ~

It often seems that people would be much better off without you around. All you do is get in the way, excel at being a burden, or somehow affect other lives.

Not that I feel I'm powerful enough to change people. But every action has an equal and opposite reaction... blah blah blah. In other words, the slightest little thing that EVER happens will affect how something else reacts to it. So just by being alive, I'm affecting millions of things.

Am I even making sense?

Most likely not.

Where was I? Disappearance. Yes. This is the key.

No, no, no. You're mistaken. It's not running away. It's not a pathetic escape. It's simply what has to be done.

And I'm just the girl to do it.

This job was cut out for me. The pay may not be the best, but the benefits are extraordinary.

Yes. That's it. I am now fully employed by the art of disappearance.

"I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift." ~ Aragorn, Fellowship of the Ring ~

You up for that trip to Antartica?
