“I am absent in my dream. In my mirror my counterfeit does not make an entrance. He craves my loneliness despite my uselessness. I have finally made up my mind to recommend suicide to him. I point him toward the viewless window. It is a win­ dow for suicide. But he instructs me that if I do not kill myself then he cannot kill himself either. The me-inside-the-mirror is almost a phoenix.”

“Once we become our own ghosts, we constantly ask how we died and who ultimately killed us— we never recall the moment when everything turned against us, how we drowned in the demands of life. Like someone waking from a dream, suddenly wary-eyed and cold, we finally remember that we haunted others and fled our own souls by imitating their lives nearly perfectly, yet death eventually caught up with us. Somehow, we ask ourselves where everyone else has gone and how nothing ever escaped the mind we now possess.”
