At the Crossroads of Dying Time

They call me an egoist. But I’d say I’m egocentric. What’s wrong with loving and respecting myself? But then the director slammed his hand on the boss’s desk and demanded that I write “a resignation letter of my own free will.” And all because I refused to get a vaccination. Well, he asked for it! After all, I swore I’d “quit” the witchcraft business. I tried really hard to become an inoffensive astronomy teacher. Almost inoffensive: I wear sneakers during lectures, sometimes I read tarot in the teachers’ room, and my hands are covered with elaborate tattoos. And what? How does that interfere? But if the director won’t give me any other choice, I’ll have to go back to the beginning and fix everything.
