Once upon a time everyone had bodies.
What's a body?
A case to hold you in.
But what if someone wanted to touch you?
They couldn't. Hush. Once upon a time everyone had bodies.
Nobody touched anybody? Ever?
They touched cases.
That's sad.
Yes, it is. Hush. Once upon a time everyone had bodies, and if they ever
wanted to touch each other, all they could do was touch bodies. And mostly
they didn't.
That's really, really, really sad. I don't like sad stories.
I know. But listen. Once upon a time everyone had bodies, and if they ever
wanted to touch each other, all they could do was touch bodies. And mostly
they didn't. But sometimes, sometimes, they would float loose in the dark,
with no body at all. And when they did, they would fly, and find each other, and fit together like home. Without bodies. Just with their real
bits.
Like us.
Yes.
And then what happened?
Sometimes, sometimes, they would be so happy they would forget to go back to
their bodies. After a while more and more people forgot to go back. That's how we came to be.
I'm glad they forgot.
Me too. END
