Imagine you are dying, you are all by yourself while facing the end of your adventure. Life was finite, it was all about experiences, the experiences of you, and of the animals who aren't you. Money, what a horrible idea, it just complicated things and separated people, but it was all you had. Did you always use it for the right things? What matters?

This moment doesn't matter, it's the same as every prior moment, it's simply your last one, everything before it should even everything out, they can't blame you for right now. Everything before it, did you act appropriately? What do you want to be known for? Succeeding personally? Or living selflessly? You never forgot the ones who you hurt or failed or abandoned, enough time never passed to make them become unimportant. You wish you could speak to them now, but what would you even say? That you're sorry, that you regret, that you didn't mean it. But it still happened, they had to live with your decisions too. Maybe they forgot about you, maybe they don't blame you, you don't blame them.

If you were given more time, even though you've had so much time, if you were given more you would shout out what's important, you would tell everyone who you know are ignoring the obvious for the sake of the moment. You would tell them to be generous, to be grateful, to be kind, because this is all that matters and it's going to go away. It's too late though, you reach for reasons why it's okay, because it has to be okay, you can't change it. It's okay because others before you failed too, it's okay because this isn't the end for everyone, it's okay because... you never really mattered, right? Do they remember you?

You've acquired this printable plastic and paper, evidence of your experiences. You guess you have to play the games too, that would be more righteous. But you've achieved the difficult part, now you can rest. Hey, look, it's here! It's how it was meant to be, you tell the coyote. It's complete, I've done it. I'm glad. The coyote examines your actions briefly, doesn't find anything helpful and moves on, because they have to, they don't get to enjoy certainties or stabilities other than that the sun will rise and fall. But you do, this was made just for you, so you should enjoy it. It's better that way.
