Search for the Missing Chapter of Humanity


I've been digging trenches in the space-time continuum somewhere along the dividing line between the past and the future in my latest attempt to find the Missing Chapter of Humanity. I figure someone could have hidden it between the dimensions of time and space. But so far I have had no luck finding what could very well turn out to be the most essential find in regards to the history of mankind.

However, during my latest excavation I came across the ultimate secret. And that is that the universe is personified as a living, breathing monster of a question mark that doesn’t want to be found, interrogated or even casually woken up. Unfortunately for everyone, I did all this.

When I found it, it was just lying there hibernating between dimensions and talking to itself in its sleep. It kept saying, “The future needs to go on a diet," over and over again; so I walked up to the blabbering beast of a question mark and gave it a good hard kick in the curve. It woke with a start, straightened all the way into an exclamation point, saw your favorite rare occult potentiality, curved back and attacked. So I shot it with a cosmic tranquilizer gun. However, before it succumbed to the powerful sedative it muttered out the following cryptic babble speak.

“The future of the future is unknown because no one knows the future - because it hasn’t happened yet. That’s why it’s called the future. Do you understand? Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t, and if you do, it matters even less because you really do know the future only you don’t know you know it. You’ve forgotten your pre-screened existences yet you’ve really forgotten ‘nothing.’ You pretend to be aware and understanding but your understanding lacks awareness. This you don’t comprehend as comprehension requires what you don’t have but stubbornly think you do have. You walk, run and mosh down the Road to Nowhere, oblivious that the Road to Nowhere actually goes somewhere. No, this is not a paradox. And yes, you will have to deal with it.”

Then the ultimate secret of the universe had a seizure of sorts and slumped into a coma. I suspect it was either allergic to the cosmic tranq dart I shot it with, or possibly - to rare occult potentialities. I’m not really sure and I didn't stick around to find out. Instead, I made a mad dash for Infinity where I wrote all this down.
