I gave myself a shape and surrounded myself in a dream, the dream of an inhabitant. He saw me in his dream and he awakened and screamed and he refused to sleep again that night, so I did not appear again in his dream. But the next night he had forgotten and slept again, and again I entered his dream - and he did not scream - he became one with me. I became him and he became me and we became each other - and he understood my one emotion - the feeling of love. For although I was powerful in all other things, I was powerless in this - to feel any other emotion but love, love of all - I loved all and I loved the destruction of all.
We were one and the same, the human and myself - for an instant only - then we became each other and I was in the flesh - with my adopted shape - and he was in the infinite nowhere with no shape. The shape I now had was formed from the fragments in the darkest recesses of the human's mind - shapes he could never consciously imagine until he actually saw them forming my body. But then it mattered not - for he knew me and understood me and my love for all and disintegrated into nothing and infinity which is the same, and took my place.
And I had formed my shape from the dark regions of his mind because, although I love light, I love darkness more. So I was there on the planet called Earth in the dimension of material existence, and having a shape formed from the unconscious depths of a human mind - and if humans loved darkness they would love my shape also, but humans had never even seen real darkness - they had only seen the absence of light, which but slightly resembles the true, living, breathing, positive darkness from which I came and which formed my now bounded shape, my bounded mind, my mind enclosed in my shape - a shape which I found terrified the humans and therefore showed that they did not love darkness, but loved only light, and were thus incomplete.
And they loved creation, which I loved also, but they did not love destruction, which I loved most of all. So the humans were incomplete and foolish and they ran away from me - but, even so, I still loved them, for I loved them all. And I loved the destruction of them.
I walked in a place where many humans walked but when they saw me they scattered - and I saw that they did not love me, and they did not see that I loved them. But I picked up one of them - a young female who was called a child and tried to show her that I loved her but she could not understand - and I would have been filled with sorrow if I could have such a feeling but I was capable only of love. And so much did I love this child that I destroyed her - an easy task as human life was not strong and could be destroyed with little effort. I started to destroy her body. I took it to pieces and tenderly laid out every item of her body in front of me - and I loved every single one of them, and I wished to destroy them. Having a shape, I was now able to eat and so, one by one, I devoured each part of the child's body to destroy them. But they were not destroyed by being consumed for they still existed within me, so I decided that I would no longer eat anything -but find a way of totally destroying it - and that would be very difficult as this was a material substance on a material plane and not able to exist and then cease to exist in succession, not able to be easily made into nothing. But then I knew. I knew how I would destroy matter. I would send it into a dimension which did not exist. This would cause the matter to cease to exist and my love of destruction would be fulfilled.
I walked and walked to find more humans and soon came to a large group of people, wearing clothing very similar to that of each other, and pointing sticks at me which made a loud noise and projected small objects into my flesh, and I wondered why they did this thing. And then I knew: they wished to destroy me. And then I realised that human beings did love destruction, but only to a limited extent. They wished to destroy some things but not others and were therefore still incomplete. But the men in the similar clothes were more complete than others and I gathered some of them up in a bunch and I twisted their heads from their bodies and their lives ceased to exist. But their bodies did still exist and so, as I had previously decided, I transported them to a dimension that did not exist and they also ceased to exist. And humans ran from me and screamed - for though they wished the destruction of me they did not wish the destruction of themselves and were therefore incomplete. But still I loved them and I picked one of them up, and to show him how much I loved him I thrust my claws into the flesh of his body and tore it to pieces until his life ceased to exist and I transported the solid matter that remained into the non-existent plane and it also ceased to exist - but some blood remained on my claws and I left it there as a sign of my love for humankind.
But still the humans did not realise that I loved them and I wished them to know and to love me also. And so I captured many and tore their bodies in halves and tied their limbs in knots or ripped their heads off and tried many other exhibitions to show that I loved them, but the humans did not understand me and did not love me. Yet I loved them even more and bit them and squeezed them and squashed their bodies flat against the earth but they did not ever realise that I loved them no matter how furiously I tried to prove it to them and I became, at last, capable of another emotion, the emotion of sorrow, which is related to that of love, and I was sorry that these people did not love me. But still I loved them so much that I destroyed every human on the planet except one and I waited until he slept. And he did not sleep for a very long time - for he was filled with a strange emotion which I do not know, and it is called "fear". But at last, after I had patiently waited for a long time, he slept in a restless sleep. And when he slept I appeared in his dream and from his dream I took myself back to the edge of infinity, leaving my shape to remain in his dream and to sink into the dark regions of his mind as it had come from the depths of the mind of one of his fellow men. And then his life ceased to exist and I was back on the outer edges of infinite space and time and I willed that the planet which was called Earth cease to exist, and it ceased to exist and my love was being fulfilled and then I destroyed space and time and infinity, and only myself existed, and I was a mind that remained existing and I loved myself - but I would love even more the destruction of myself for then my love would be completely and perfectly fulfilled as I am now all that exists and in a moment I will cease to exist and my love will be complete and will also not exist. Yes, now I destroy myself, and I am fading, and I am, and now I am not.
