I wake up in a cold sweat, staring out the window at the sun. I hiss, staring for too long. Does everything do really not matter? Of course it does. It all matters when people remember me the whole time.

I stare at the sun once more, thinking of what I could do to get admiration from everyone. I won't be just a silly phase to everyone. They'll love me forever. I have to matter. I need to know everything. That's it! I won't know everything. Gods are keeping everything from me.

"I'm going to stop you right there," a low voice calls, "Juno."

I turn around. "Who are you? How do you know my name!?" I ask. "Oh ho! Who?" The being laughs. "Yeah. Who? Unless you're a what..." "Persicley! I'm Time! You know, the most important thing forever and ever, the one that will always be everywhere, and once you feel it ends, well, just another will begin."

The thing was speaking almost a foreign language. In riddles, gibberish, even! I scoff at it. "English, please." I replied with attitude.

"Okay. Simply put, mechanical hands are the ruler of everything." It explained, extending it's mechanical over to point at a clock. It's arms went back to a more human length. "So, basically me. I'm the ruler if everything, in the end." It added. I stared at it's obscured face, then down to it's lips, the only thing on it's face I could see. It was smiling.  "And my time, you sure are a pathetic little thing."

Judging by the fact it said 'my time' and not 'my god' or something, it clearly sees itself as a god. I think, trying to stray this conversation away from my flaws.

"Look at my pants." "What? Zirconium?" "No, of course not. They're real." I try and smile, sliding across my floor. "And watch this!" I say again, my voice shaky as I spin. "You can't hide things from me. I know everything forever. And look at you; showing off fake diamonds like you're the real deal?"

"Look..." I say, before strutting across my room. "I mean, look at me! They love me, at least most do. Of coruse, nothing you say will break me, I'm fully aware that I'm the biggest importance." I ramble. "You sure like hearing yourself talk, huh." Time says, in it's low, this time monotone, voice. "Oh, but you must like it." I say, awaiting it's approval. It just laughs. "I- I mean, I try so hard for all of this-" "And you think you'd get approval of a god from it?" "No," I pause, "It's my life." "And there goes the confidence." "I am confident!"

I sigh. "Of course I'm confident, Time. I have a wonderful wife, a powerful job..."

"And that wife?" Time asks. "She's there for me, she loves me." I respond. "You're sure?"

"I mean... she does critizie me every now and then you know? She said I'm like... egocentric..."

"Hah!" Time lets out a big laugh. For what? Is admiting one issue that much to it? "Everything about you is a lie, friend. It's all something you say to yourself, you practice for attention, you never speak or show honesty." It rants. Drat. "Oh, you can't judge me on one interaction! You can know what I do, but never see what's going on inside my mind! I'm just put under pressure, I mean, you are a God after all, but trust me, if you got to know me what I'm saying, it's all real." I rush.

"You collect all these little trinkets that others have told you hold meaning, just so you can have meaning." "No, I do it because I truly enjoy them!" "Don't get mad if I hurt that ego, because you're only digging yourself a deeper hole." "What?"

"I've seen everything you've been though, everything you do! I've been able to watch you from the moment you were born and can view your last breath. I know everything about you and this facade. I'm everywhere. You're not important to anyone and you know that."

Well, that's not true. I think my mother might have found me important. I've forgotten about her. Fuck.

"Don't go there." "I made all this happen, for you to have the right to gain importance, and yet you take it with out right. I could take all this from you if I so desired, of course."

I figured it out. He finally spoke in a way I understood. "So... it's a lie? One giant scheme..?"

"Of course. You can't last forever, because once time ends and starts again, it's like hitting reset. For you go though the same process and end up forgotten. Nothing can last forever, it's all a lie." Time explains. "No, it can't be." "You've gotta face the truth someday, or else once the end of time begins another one, you'll be destined to end only then ay the end realizing that you wasted your time trying to be so important."

"Look at things from my view. I exist so you can, and in turn I watch you create concepts and deems things less or more important. It's all nonsense. It all an excuse to have more power over others."

"Will I know when the clock stops?" I ask. "You must know time is infinite. It doesn't end when you end, it just ignores you and keeps going."

"And know, it doesn't matter if you know this. Comprehend if you can, but don't make a fool of yourself pretending to know. You need to know you can't know everything, and that's what's great! Smile because you don't know everything!" Time explains. My lips start to form into a smile. "Yeah. Sure, I get that.. at least." "You understand how I'm the ruler of everything in the end, now."
