   Alrighty! Hello, my name's Sam. Well, it's really Samantha Allison Crowhall but everyone just calls me Sam. And I suppose I'm dead?? No... that's not the correct wording... I'm more like... nothing at the moment, welcome to the empty. This place doesn't exist, it can't, mostly because its a place of nonexistence, but yet something that can't exist is existing so this place is an impossible paradox... probably created because of my continued existence, for this is where time itself ends as well. And I suppose I'm also an impossibility, a paradox. I exist in a plane of existence that doesn't exist and only exists due to my existence and yet I wouldn't exist without this place. So yeah, this is a thing.

   It's also REALLY FUCKING WEIRD to see multiple versions of yourself engaging in different conversations, doing different things, wearing different clothes, different physical appearances... it's just odd, like, there are twelve different versions of me writing in the exact same journal at the exact same time in RATHER similar ways, but small minute differences. I think aside from my paradoxical existence I am also paracausal, time doesn't necessarily control me... I suppose the best way to describe it is this, "Time cannot affect me because I hold some form of power over the universe and fabric of reality itself." Yeah that sounds powerful but its not as powerful as one might think, well more accurately I'm not as powerful as one might think. The 'control' I have over the universe is just being able to do impossible things like devour souls, or enchant things to do impossible things like drawing energy from the sun in a dangerous and concentrated way but yet doesn't harm unless allowed to. Not like I can just snap and the entire universe goes poof, I'm not god.

   In fact, I'm what is called a Sin Eater, a being of christian lore I believe, hard to recall here... anyway, my role in this cosmic balance is to take Sinful Souls, eat the Sin, and let the rest of the Soul be judged and sent to its respective afterlife, Heaven or Hell. Now being what I am allows me to do certain things, such as enchanting and drawing power from impossible places and things in order to help me acquire said Souls, or end Demons. Yes, I can literally eat Demons, given they are just powerful Souls. Fuuunnn right? Well, I learned to enjoy it after a while.

   OH, I FORGOT TO DESCRIBE MYSELF! Whooops, alright, so, I am about 5'11" and I often wear suits or other very formal clothing, I have a left blue eye and a right red eye, supposedly a side effect of my species. I have long black hair that ends naturally in white tips, yet another side effect of my species. I have a pretty good build, strong but slim... heh what every small time girl wants, model body I suppose, whatever. Anyway, now you have an appearance to go with these words.... whoever is even reading this, if any are reading this... I'm... almost certain there are readers, ranging from one to twenty to twenty thousand, or maybe it's none, and I'm just insane... that's quite possible as well... 

   Anyway, you've heard enough of my rambling about my surroundings now haven't you? I bet you wanna hear about how I even got here yes? If so, read on, if not... close the book and throw it back into the trashcan you pulled it from.
