>nicks you haven't seen in years, everyone asking how everyone's doing. people talking about what they've done in their spare time, all those inside jokes flooding back, and nothing but happy memories filling a void that you didn't know existed

You fucking get me, anon...

When it's all over, when it's finally finished, I imagine the world as an archipelago, each man an island formed of memories he will never speak on, a sentinel to the passage of time, dripping with the culture of a kingdom who's king fell eons ago.

These memories, woven through each other, forever anonymous, bind us in a way that cannot be snipped, switched off, shut down and moved to the closet, gathering dust in a sea of noise and "likes" and "upvotes." We will look into each other's eyes, hoping desperately to find that glimmer of life which we carry within ourselves, eternally anonymous, dying, growing old in a museum with a backlog of exhibits and traveling artists who tell you to "move on, old man! Make way, the show's coming through, we haven't all day!"

Rot with me, anon, here, in this moment. Let's take these seconds before we vanish and cherish them.

Never leave. Never forget. Hold on to the glow of the dead empire, the way of the old world.

Here's to us, anon. Let us take an oath to never let our weapons grow dull.
