I could have given this an extra star just because of this one paragraph:
What should be our place of origin on this questionnaire you want us to fill out? We could say we're from the stellar regions, but that wouldn't be precise. Let's use astronomical terms, though, so you can understand, in the end, it's always a matter of the abyss: let's just say we're from the unchartered territories that astronomers call black holes but that you carry within yourselves. And so, to you, we're millions of light years away, yet at the same time, we're beneath your skin, we're your inside that's now on the outside, watching you. We're your pattern, in a way, your imprint, your beginning. And possibly your end as well, but who can say.
