Free Cell

To become enlightened here--where, as a malignant jackass once put it to me, "everyone has a price in pleasure or pain"--is to find oneself truly alone. Don't feel bad for me; this is what I've been chasing all my life. As difficult as my life has been, the overseers have been careful to refrain from explicitly demonstrating to me my own "price." I understand that as a measure of my provenance. It must be a milestone that one can stand firmly beside this world, even if it is on a makeshift ledge supported by hereditary charity.
