There was a time, he remembers, when his soul was only as old as his face looked. When no one ever said anything like “You look so young,” because he was young, and compliments of eternal youth are only ever paid to the aged.
There was a time, he remembers, when he was the most beautiful creature of his race by virtue of something other than being the last of his race.
There was a time, he remembers; and he tries to forget.
Yessssssssssssssssssssss.
