My mind is in a thousand pieces, recorded on thousands of sheets of paper. Even though I carry only my present knowledge with me – the knowledge of skills rather than the memories of my past – I know that somewhere among these sheets of papers is my answer.
The answer I have been searching for for so long, so long — I am sure that it is in here. As I uncover each sheet, I recover another shard of my memories. Piecing them together, I feel a small flame rekindling inside my heart.
The things that I created, that I explained, that I diagrammed – and then forgot – these things must mean something! They are all about just one world, one world that I created piece by piece, word by word, drawing by drawing.
I am compiling a grand encyclopedia of my world. It is probably going to reach about 200 pages in length. I have written ten so far, and will soon start drawing in the illustrations.
Maybe, finally, everything will come together …
