The Book’s Observation Diary

A book from a chaotic, good-aligned parallel world takes up a work-study job, retrieving books it has loaned out and writing an observation journal along the way, hoping to find its own story again. To spruce up its journal, it often trades stones for new covers and records interesting things with sparkling stickers and colorful pen strokes. It also writes down the truth: The weather is lovely. I just watched a star escape a black hole again! Because these dark things weigh on my heart, because I have seen dawn rise from the ruins, seen evil on the throne and night upon the altar, because I have sought out all that has disappeared, offended every ruling power, and pitied the suffering masses, I question the abyss, and I myself am a chasm.
