献给新世界的方舟

“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”
——《新约圣经·启示录》
我被关押了多久？两千年？还是更久？我已经记不得了。在第一个千年，我有过幻想，我在幻想是谁把我从深渊释放出来，拉斐尔还是桑德枫？抑或是弥赛亚？千年之后，我有过咒骂，咒骂天上人的不义。而现在却已经无所谓了，不过是再睡一觉，可我唯独都没有想过能在合眼前见到光明，我眼前的既不是天使，也不是义人，只是一个普通的人类，他的眼中没有恐惧，可能因为他不曾信仰过什么，他的眼中也没有好奇，可能因为他是个愚昧之人，这种人我似乎只在伊甸园中看到过。
