Life asked Death 'Why does the world relish in my existence, yet resent yours?' And Death replied so simply. 'Because you are the beautiful lie and I am the cold, ugly truth.'

What lurks unseen behind the faucets in your eyes? I've seen it, the fear, it is that fear of the unknown that urges you to hide in the light, to blind yourself in beautiful lies you have known all your life. Have you seen the shadows dance I wonder? To embrace the darkness as your friend, your lover, your salvation, how it would caress you with its pain, the pain sewn from the rivers of tears streaming down across this Earth like a plague.

Pain, one becomes stronger through pain. If one does not know of pain then neither can they know of peace, it is the balance of light and darkness that becomes us and maintains the causality of our humanity. It is with this nature that you shall come to understand the past and all the hardships you've faced thus far. The present, how the world continues to forevermore turn and turn like a broken record on repeat churning the same manufactured routine on the daily just so you can breathe.

If you come to understand these things as to which stems the term humans like to call 'life' then you shall know who I am.

I am the future, Death. Amadeus Gothika is my pen name, should it achieve its goal of deceiving you it shall be noted that it is normal for you to be sitting on your computer with a look of confusion, horror, shock or disbelief as you are reading this depiction of what mankind seems to call a 'bio.'

As the wheel of fate turns, so do I. If you are reading this it was your predestined fate to do so and now it is your choice to forget my existence and go about your life and doing the same thing you've been doing since your creation. In the end all things fall asleep and cease to wake again.

I don't like humanity, it's corruptible, fallible, manipulative, you can care to try and change my mind. And yes, that is me in the picture.
