My name… Well, it doesn’t really matter what my name is.
I have the same name as so many other people. I also like
what so many other people like: ice cream, shiny shoes,
warm weather, being silent for long periods of time,
and watching people.
I often watch people without them noticing. I don’t want to
bother them. Infact, I’ve developed complex techniques for
passing unnoticed while I watch, which I can’t reveal to you
because if I did they would be useless.
As a matter of fact, I don’t watch as much as I see: I mean,
I see into peoples’ lives. You can’t watch the past or the
future because they’re not there in front of you, but you
can see into them. The same sort of thing happens with
thoughts and other things that can also be seen.
I don’t know if I already mentioned this but I also like
secrets, the light you get in movie houses, my city,
long avenues like the one I live on, falling in love,
and having birthdays, just like anybody else.
I love to write, and when I do, I write at night.
