Chapter 9. Gymnopedies
Authors' Note.
Thank you for reading what I have written so far.
I will add more chapters in the next few weeks,
I would like dear reader, at this point, make a confession of a
" literary conceit ", although not in the truest meaning of the term.
Within the chapters of this unfinished story, and the story before it,
are riddles - the answers to which, are songs and artworks.
It is not my intention to promote the artists or infringe their copyright.
I am hoping to give the reader some enjoyment in making some
connections and solving a puzzle or two.
Happy to answer questions you may have. Any ideas or suggestions
you would like to share would be appreciated -

Stairway to Heaven
Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings, far too weak to survive amid the other extraterrestrials that lie dormant across the galaxies. Instead of physical altercations, they would rather engage in verbal abuse, breaking an individual's psyche as a hobby. They excel at deception and manipulation, far too interested in bringing their brothers and sisters down and reaching for the top of their self-made hierarchies. Beyond their questionable nature and moral compasses, they long to find meaning in their lives and put names to the feelings that drive each passing moment. They are insatiable—far too greedy for more knowledge and a supposed understanding of their lives. It's pitiable, really, the way they struggle to find themselves while ravaging their kind through petty wars and conflicts built off of misunderstanding. Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings. They created words and languages to fill the holes that lived inside their souls, desperate for ways to find meaning in their incredibly short lifespans. They'll waste their entire lives trying to find their so-called passions and reasons for living, acting as if they truly rule the way their lives go, supposed "controllers of their own destiny." Yet, they cannot evade the inevitable visit from death, who stands next to them, ticking the seconds down until their demise.
