Rules of 6’s

...where I could watch them with no pain. 

A thousand lives strewn out before me, like a scattering of posies. Pointless little fleeting, broken things that they were. Here some tears, there a bit of fear. The axe and the sword. Plots and deceit. A little love and some soft caresses in the dark. They were all there. 

But now I could see them all. They were nothing now. So strange, it seemed, that they had once caused me so much pain, so much elation. 

They were nothing now. I was at peace finally, in the sixth dimension.
