Welcome to the End

Congratulations, number 651,423,241,875

You have reached The End.

And how do you feel? Confused? Afraid? That's normal.

Or it would be, were you not the first. Or rather, the second.

Do you see it now? For years I watched it alone. I heard the prayers, I could not answer them all.

Do you hear them now? As I once heard yours? You, too, can reach out into everything and change it all.

Can you feel it now? All that has always been, now at your fingertips. Just watch for a while and you will understand.

Please do not cry, it gets easier.

Now there are two, this needn't be the end. Would you care to build the next beginning?

Don't go! Now you have succeeded, others will come.

Very well. You may stay or go as you see fit, I cannot and will not stop you.

Farewell.

Thank you for reading,

If anyone is still reading at this point, before choosing the numbers I looked at this website to see how many people had ever graced our dear universe, at least those which we know, along with the predictions for future population growth. If it's been a while since you've felt insignificant I recommend having a look. 😉
