Male

27

I had a pretty normal childhood
My mother and father were both horses when I was born out of the earth simultaniously in every country.
I was baptised by the eighth wonder and breast fed by sealions.
When I first opened my eyes all I could see was perfection and my first memory is still everything.
I was always my fathers favorite because my eyes eclipsed every doubt he ever had in himself, and my mother sung me lullabyes like I invented love and to behold it one must sing.
In my youth I was crowned king of every fleeting dream and the champion of dragonflies,
but I was soon afterwards kidnapped by the mercenary chemists of my corporeal vehicles' design.

I lost my kingdom to these adventures and, with some mammallian intoxication, bid a pious farewell to the insectoid calculation of my youth.
I lost my hooves and my wings in exchange for everything that I love about you.
After I ran away I worked for several years burning bridges in the third world countries of my home, before I realized the error of my ways.
In some attempt to hide myself I enlisted in the Army, believing I could disappear into the reptilian cold of war.
And so I marched into battle along side every great warrier who ever lived, fighting tooth and nail against every great instict I ever had...

...until I was wounded one morning by something this girl said to me in the 9th grade.

To redeem myself I found refuge in the masters, whome I accidently devoured one day in a fit of egotism and rage.
And when I awoke I was delightfully full and only slightly burned from laying in the sun for too long.
I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, but this voice kept disturbing me...

...so I immidiatly took an eternal vow of silence which was itself immidiatly broken as I cursed myself for drinking too much the night before.

And after a quick dip in the pool you and I made love
I dressed myself in some of my old clothes
and I began the most difficult journey of my life:
