To Whom It May Concern

Recently it has entered my notice, as I went about my daily rounds here on the forum, for as you know I am a regular patron of this fine establishment as I am sure you are aware, for I have seen your face before good sir I have - recently it has entered my notice, as it does, that there is in fact nobody else here except for a mysterious admin figure known only as 'Tommy'. I must say that this is (and I do not say this lightly!) a sordid state of affairs and I must insist that either Tommy or myself move to rectify this issue with some haste.

For that matter, indeed - who is Tommy? I have not met him. I know no man called Thomas. Is Thomas his name, or does Tommy stand for something else? Perhaps it is merely a moniker; a cheap pen-name of some grim figure who sits above the stage with the spiders and wooden beams, toying with the strings of men. Perhaps this puppet-master Thomas does not even exist, and is after all simply a manifestation of my own blackened imagination. Perhaps this forum, indeed, this forum - perhaps there is nothing here at all, and I speak at this moment to a hollow crowd of empty faces.

Or - my word, or indeed - am I typing on a keyboard right now, at all? Or in truth do my fingers clatter on my long-dead lover's broken teeth in the depths of my basement as I scream for help to come but there's nobody, nobody to come for me and free me from this prison of the mind that I have built for myself to spare me from the guilt that has maddened my soul.

Oh, Lord. Lord, why have I done these things? Can you, in your infinite power and wisdom, can even you save me? I don't know.

I don't know.


Sincerely,
Sir Ronald Bigbutt

well said dude
