"Can a statue feel pity?"He asked me today, and I know not why. Does he feel I pity him in his ill state, his fight with the thing that haunts him called Cancer. Does he wish me to, I don't understand? It takes much out of him I see, but he is better than the pity I see the other humans giving him. I will not pity him for doing what humans do, but maybe I will be sad that he does so, so early.
I think he wants to be like me; stone and mind, but nothing more. I want to feel his skin so badly, but if i were to- NO!
Why am I thinking such awful things? I'm so angry with myself I feel sick. How could I think of turning him like me? Even if he truly believes it is what he wants he is a foolish human who does not know the pains of my curse! Some of the pains he creates, himself. I am a fool. A fool and a cretin! He will come tomorrow, but I will not show approval of his desire! I will not turn him to stone!
