My name is Karim Ammar, 20 years old and I'm ignorant. When I was in high school my classmates would argue about a lot of things and I don't take part of the argument. I just sit there and watch them fight, I don't say anything, I don't express my opinion, I just watch. On the internet, people would argue about almost anything online: politics, religion, social issues etc.

And I just watch, I scroll through the comments reading every reply but I don't add one of my own even I have my own opinion about it I don't do anything I just watch.

In college, my teammates would argue about the group work, I just watch I don't say anything until they ask me to.

That's pain in the ass, I don't want to be an actor I want to just remain a watcher. I just want to observe how humans resolve their own conflicts that are none of my business.

To be honest, I'm arrogant, so arrogant that I don't think I should be concerned about human conflicts.

I'm so arrogant I don't consider anyone worthy enough to rival me or be my enemy. In fact, my only enemy isn't human. My only enemy is... Time herself.

I hated her, I cursed her, she was always against me. She'd slow down when I need her to move fast, she'd move fast when I need her to slow down.

I hated her so much, she cursed me.

I woke up one day to realize that I'm no longer a part of this world. I'm not dead but my existence is erased. I became the incarnation of the bad habit I used to have. I became a being that can only watch. A being that can see past and future. A being that can see everyone and everything. A being that can only watch the universe again and again for eternity.

I became ... The Watcher
