Me: Hmm? Who are you?
Oh please, don't worry about that. It's not like you already know who I am.
Me: I already know?
Please. I know how you help me, you've watched me, threatened me, and even fought me. But I always come back.
Me:...
You know who I am now, right?
Me:...yeah. So, what now? Are you here to take me now?
Maybe. Depends. What do you think? Are you ready to walk with me?
Me: I really don't want to.
Why?
Me:....I don't know. Maybe I fear walking through that street. I fear closing that curtain.
Why? In the end we're all the same. Humans. Animals. Everything has a timeshare in Heaven or Hell. Do you fear your judgement?
Me: I don't think I want to go. I still have so much to live for.
Live for? Interesting. Such a human answer.
Me: What? Why? I simply wish to build a kingdom for myself with my own hands. My legacy.
That's it? If that's it, you might as well forget your 'kingdom'
Me: What?
In the end, with your hands you will create a kingdom from Sand. But all kingdoms drown, as the tide of time brings them down. Your Sandcastle Kingdom.
Me:...I don't believe it. We were made for more than these numbers and names.
You don't believe it. I only take your name. I don't take your Kingdom. I let the passing of time do that.
Me: I want to make something more than just those names.
If you believe that. Every day, you are only waking up to the passing of time. Soon, I'll come and talk to you again. And you'll choose to either fight me or surrender.
Me:...
No one has been able to beat me. It might take time. You might win some time. But in the end you will return with me.
Me: I...
When your kingdom comes, you will be undone. And then I'll decide where to hang your hide. So. Do you move with me or fight for more time?
Me:...I'm sorry. Someday I'm certain I'll follow you. But I have too much right now to do.
...Very well. I understand. You're still young. Keep indulging in your Sandcastle Kingdom. But you have one disadvantage. One that you will continue to have so long as you stay naive.
Me: And that is?
Nikhil....you still fear me...
Me: Hmm? Who are you?

I've been listening to NateWantsToBattle's album Sandcastle Kingdoms, specifically the last song "SandCastle Kingdoms." And I can honestly say that it's amazing!! Quite possibly the greatest song I've ever heard. And while I was listening to it, I had to think about me, my life, my legacy, etc. That's kinda like what this song is about, and I love it no matter what. So this is what I thought the story was mostly about. But I'm curious on who you think 'I' was talking to.
