Prologue

Is anything impossible?

And if so, is that due to the individual, due to society, due to the world, or due to logic or physical laws?

Hee hee hee. Sorry. It is a little cruel for the strongest of the strong to ask a question like that. Please don’t let it get to you, brother.

Nothing is impossible for me.

I am a true queen. I am not bound by logic or the physical laws; they obey my very existence. You could say the “world” is just one of my many unimportant servants.

Isn’t it a little late to look so surprised, brother? Ah ha ha! And even if you understand it, that doesn’t mean you can accept it. You think there has to be at least one thing that is impossible for me, don’t you? Yes, I can see that empty hope in your eyes.

You are so lovably brave, brother.

The world’s possibilities or unseen hope? I can’t believe you still hold such unconditionally trust in those baseless things. Oh, I’m starting to feel a little jealous of the world. I feel like giving it a quick slap to sweep everything clean.

Hee hee. Pardon me. I got a little carried away.

Anyway, brother, how about we test one of them out?

Let’s test out something you think has to be impossible. Let’s test out something you have subconsciously kept in mind as something not even the White Queen could accomplish. I will relieve you of that delusion.

Oh, dear. There’s no reason to tense up like that.

I’m not talking about splitting the earth in two, swallowing the solar system, or balling up the milky way. Besides, I doubt that kind of obvious violence would surprise you at this point.

I’m talking about something more unexpected, more absurd, and more fun.

This is a simple possibility that your subconscious defenses have kept you desperately looking away from. It is a mental blind spot that we could call a personal nightmare.

Now, now. What do you think it is?

Think hard, worry plenty, tremble in fear, and fall into the deepest depths.

Just make sure you’re ready when the time comes, my – dear – brother.

Facts The answer is always right in front of your eyes. If you cannot see it, the problem is with your resolve.
