    Thing about a concept is, while I can project onto it a sense of being, emotion, the desire to exist, those are still just projections onto something that is incapable of generating those on its own.

    “Lila, you cannot cease to exist because you never came into existence in the first place,” I said to the substanceless non-thing in my mind. I never made a being; I projected my own fear of nonexistence onto a golem made of neurotransmitters and glutamate.

    That all being said, tonight when I get off work Lila and I are going to sit on the couch, watch a couple episodes of Invincible, and make out.
