I never did get to finish this one. I got off topic, or maybe on topic, blogging away about population control. You don't have to have children. Remember that.
Anyway, isolation. Being alone. This blog is interesting. I am blogging away on the Internet. Hundreds of millions of people access this virtual world everyday. I will never in my lifetime share the same space with 500 million people, but I may be sharing this virtual space with 500 million people right now. Right this second, countless millions are on this communication medium with me.
And no one has read anything on this blog. And it is very possible no one ever will. I am alone in this bustling over populated cyber-world. It is like being in a Tokyo and never meeting one single person.
I will have to use this in a story. A man alone on the Internet, isolated. This blog feels haunted. There are creaks at night. Doors closing and the smell of blood at the edge of my perception. This blog is haunted and I am alone in it. And there is no help coming. It is like a wagon train trapped in the Rocky Mountains in the winter time, and the members of the caravan are forced to resort to cannibalism.
We humans are like wolves in that we cannot tolerate being alone for long but we become homicidal when we are forced to live in the proximity of too many others of our kind. We need a balance between alone and accompanied.
Soylent Green is people.
I am rambling now. Being alone for too long can bring on madness. Hallucinations. Delusions. I think there is something in here with me. It is laughing, just soft enough that I can't quite hear it. God it's stalking me. Watching me all the time. It is waiting till dark then it will come.
God loves the sun and its light.
