If I said that I was born on October 9 , 1854; I will probably draw
th

yself in blac! and white.

I agine then if I said that I a not yet born, that it will happen on the 4" th of October of the year 1,#$%,8#4& I definitely would draw yself with any, any colors& 'undreds, thousands, illions, billions, trillions(

Last night I saw a fisher an fishing& I was trying to fi/ a co ple/ proble that for so e reason ade y bubble ship not to respond properly& My ission was finished and I had to return to y ti e2 0he fact that the fisher an whistled with true de)otion and deep feeling helped e not to worry& 5ut the 7uestion re ained there+ will I re ain fore)er in this ti e8 And if so, could I li)e or will I die if y bubble failed8 5ut I re e bered that I was an artist& And that I had pictures& I also lo)e writing& I still could not gi)e up and resign yself to die2 I wanted to li)e by and for her& ,iolet( My one true lo&&&

I stayed a long ti e loo!ing and listening& 'is boat roc!ed in a sea increasingly rough& 'e could not see e because y bubble can disguise itself as does a cuttlefish& 5ut it was when I lit a fire when I really caught his attention& I felt an uncontrollable desire to go up and e/plain that was possible, how we had astered the art of sub arine fire& 5ut I re e bered+ 9o not interfere& And if he saw e, he would definitely thin! that I a an alien fro so e other world&&& And that4s not true222 :.itchcraft2; 'e suddenly shouted& I laughed so hard that he probably heard e because he left 7uic!ly fro there& 5ut in less than an hour he returned with another fisher an& 0hen another and another, and a priest2 I don4t !now how to describe it, but their fascination <in a purple color= and their fear <in a yellow color= were i/ed together in their loo!s of astonish ent <gi)ing an unbelie)able e/traordinary color=& I decided to put out y fire& 5ut suddenly y bubble ship began to rise uncontrollably& .hen it finally stopped it stayed static at three feet abo)e the sea le)el& 3or ore co plication, the ca ouflage syste did not respond& -o I was a helpless cuttlefish that had *ust bro!en the cardinal rule+ do not interfere&

There I was+ le)itating faced towards that group of )illagers in a couple of boats& 6obody said anything and neither did I for caution& 0hey see ed to ha)e no fear at all, but hundreds of illions of billions of trillions of 7uestions& And one of the )entured to as!& 0he 7uestion ca e out of his outh and flew to y ears& Who am I? 'e as!ed& Who am I? I am an artist! I replied, and of course I showed the y ideas, drawings; writings &&& and that I had planted a seed in the botto of the seabed& In that way I a)oided answering the 7uestion& I could not tell the in any way that I was one of the , a )ulgar and :e)ol)ed; hu an being fro the year 1,#$%,854 who escaped fro the future to see! inspiration in the past& A future so difficult to understand &&& 0here one was prohibited fro planting words2 0hey surprised e so uch2 Instead of starting a witch hunt, they loo!ed with fascination at y wor!& ;He is really an artist. May I ask you what did you planted down there? What is it? What is it! I replied+ :I planted the word that she ga e me! !iolet! My one true lo e! Who is your "elo ed# i$ you allow su%h a "old &uestion? :'he is the one that allows me to $ly# sing# dream...! (nd what word did she gi e you! It must "e a "eauti$ul one... It is a gorgeous se%ret! ... ( se%ret that we will $lourish sooner rather than later! )h !iolet# you did it!

*ays passed without seeing anyone again here& My bubble ship was repaired and returned to ca ouflage under water after answering all their 7uestions& 6ow they !now that I planted a word and that I will be lea)ing soon& Oh, y !ind and poor guests2 .hat ha)e I done2 In the century that I a in now, they are probably hanging fro their nec!s in the s7uare& >robably sentenced to death for telling illogical and stupid )isions filled with ridiculous ideas& .hat i prudence2
