Revelation

“Alright man?”
“I’m fine except I’m feeling a bit drowsy. Do I know you?”
“Not yet. But I can tell you the reason why you’re feeling odd.”
“Really…? And why do I feel so strange?”
“You’re still lying on this bench but you’ve lost the right to do so a couple of minutes ago.”
“What’s that supposed to mean? You don’t think I’m a homeless only because I have the newspaper lying on my stomach, do you? That’s only because I fell asleep earlier. Are you a cop? I got my ID if you don’t believe me…”
“I’m not a cop.”
“So who are you then?”
“It’s not so much a question of who but rather a question of what. I’ve had various names throughout history.”
“Look man, I have no idea what your point is, but you’re starting to get on my nerves.”
“That would be kinda hard actually.”
“And what’s that supposed to mean?!”
“Your nerves are already falling apart. Pretty soon all that’s left of you will be dust.”
“Dust?”
“I’m sorry man, but you died ten minutes ago.”
