You are necessary, no matter what you think

[skonen_blades]

For reasons I can’t get into here let’s just agree that I can’t tell you my name. I am an echo of a shadow of a memory of a thought. I barely possess the strength to witness what goes on around me, let alone affect the world. I am here to be ignored. I am the other end of the spectrum. I guess I’d be an ultra-man or an infra-person; invisible to the naked eye. To say that I was a ghost would give me entirely too much power. I exist and don’t exist at the same time. I straddle this level of existence and the plane of nothing. I’m half-here. I’m a demishade. I am a possible man. I am a potential soul. I am ‘less than’ in any math equation. I am the blank that you need to fill in.

I remember a primary school math teacher once told me that children have the most trouble getting the concept of zero. If you have two apples and you take two apples away, then you have zero apples. The concept of zero apples is a hard thing for a seven year old to get.

I am zero people.

Dude, you got the Hiroshima makeover. "Atomic Silhouette", it's this year's hottest shade...

ha ha. That's good. That was a line I edited out just before I posted. "I am a Hiroshima shadow". Awesome.
