CAUTION!!! LONG STORY AHEAD...
Once a long time ago, there was a man. For as long as he could remember, he had always been by himself.If he climbed down the mountain, he knew he would be able to be with people.But he chose to be by himself.Having the strength of a thousand men, having the lives of a thousand men.That man having thousand of memories, knew that he was different from others.He was afraid of this self that he knew was so different from the world.Then one day, a cat came. This was a sudden encounter with another being visiting him.The cat said "I've been following you. You've an unusual aura which draws me close to you.I realise I'm but a stray cat, but won't you let me stay by your side?"Since then, the cat never left the man's side and that made God happy.A thought came to him. Perhaps he can get along with them, if it was a being other than humans.then they can have a fun banquet.And so, God wrote out many invitations. In return, 12 animals arrived to see God.Following that, the thirteen animals and God had a banquet everynight under the moonlight.At the banquet for the first time, God laughed happily. Even the moon watched quietly over the beings who did not look like humans.However, after sometime, the cat collapsed.His life had come to an end and there was nothing they could do.Everyone of them cried. Everyone of them realised eventually everyone would die.No matter how fun it was, no matter how much you love them, the banquet will end.God cast a spell, asking everyone to take a sip of the holy water. "Let us make our friendship last for eternity." "Even when we die, let us be bound by our friendship for eternity.""No matter how many times we die, again in the same way, let us have another banquet.""Let Us Be In Eternal Bliss."After everyone took their sip of water, the cat began to gasp."God, i don't want eternity. I Do Not Want Eternal Bliss."Those words strike hard on God and the 12 animals. Thinking it was rejecting words,the 12 animals turn against him.Even so the cat said "God even though you're frightened, let us accept that all things end.""Even though it is sad, let us accept that life ends."If i were to die and be reborn again and to meet you again, instead of the moonlight,i want to see you smile in the sunlight. I want to see you laughing with people."And for the last time, the cat raised his tail and died peacefully.The 12 animals felt betrayed by the cat.After that, one by one they all died.And so God was lonely once more.Eventually, even the day came that God had to die too. However he was not afraid.Because he had his promise to everyone."We will have a banquet again, many times, unchanging, no matter how lonely i am right now.""On the other side of that promise, everyone is waiting for me."
