The Capsule

Welcome.

Welcome.

Welcome.

I’ve been here…

since always, and forever.

I wait for you.

I welcome you.

I instruct you.

I am here…

for you.

To teach you.

Anticipation. Fear.

Pleasure.

Rage. Boredom.

Desire. Thievery.

Power.

Jealousy.

The last thing I will teach you…

is to lack.

I want to put broken shards of glass in Isolda’s shoes.

I stole twelve eggs and ate them all.
