Every so often they would come in Turn the lights on and ask me questions Then record my responses Never showing emotion They only asked and observed Perhaps seaching for certain responses The room had no windows I could not truely tell If it was day or night My memories were blurred And with each passing test They only grew more clouded The observers returned again This time not asking But telling They told me things Both mundane and strange Supposed events and occurrences Whether they were in the future Or the distant past I did not know I listened to and answered The faceless observers For what seemed like days The time came When they seemed satisfied With the knowledge I had gained And they endeavoured To show me one final thing By wheeling out a simple mirror They faced it towards me And what I saw looking back Shocked me to my core In the dim relection I saw a strange machine With churning part and glowing orbs This machine was me Though I knew not how For it was not a form I recalled One of the larger observers explained I was the last intelligence Of a long extinct race In fact they told me I was the last individual intelligence In the universe For they were all part Of a greater hive mind That had absorbed all creation They planned to bring me Before that grand being itself Once preperations were made Silently and without emotion They left the room And turned the lights off again I was alone again I, the sole survivor Brought back from the oblivion Of an antiquated age To face the god of this one
