“there aren’t even any wounds any more, and no verb at all shall ever be heard again, no memories, no traces […] the last word has died away long ago […] for only the bare crust of the earth remains, only the thick black dead cold ashes, in which we stand facing each other”

You cannot describe me. [...] Because you do not know who I am, and you don’t know me, and your not knowing me protects me from your preparations. I am an invisible army.

Because you comprehend annihilation and that is why I’m coming, so that there will be some meaning to the very fears, the many terrors and anxieties and worries, which are yourselves.
