On Transcience

"As the machinery sunk deeper and deeper into the ocean of emptiness habited only by stars, his consciousness started to drop. With a ghost of a smile he plunged it to the stream of the unconsciousness where it belonged. The mechanism, shut down at last. Although he already had a wish, he secretly made another one so that this time, this joy of transience would no longer be an illusion. The beauty of ephemerality. Mortality's narcissism has finally became his at last."
