The Tapir
Timothy R. Glass
What is my purpose in this world?When Timothy R. Glass, aka the Tapir, first woke up in the Heavenly Kingdom, it was like his eyes had been opened for the first time. In his mind was not only a new kind of intelligence, but a name and occupation. He was a linguist, and his mission was to record the Song and decipher its hidden messages. But how would he do such a thing? And to what end? He simply did not know. After wandering around a bit, the Tapir came across the Intelligents. These strange, hollow metal beings regarded him with suspicion at first, but soon came to regard him as one of their own. Or rather, they came to tolerate his existence. It was as if they saw themselves as above viewing him as a concern. He was trivial in the grand scheme of things, it seemed, and as long as he left things alone they would leave him alone as well (and perhaps even help him feed himself). But unfortunately, the Tapir's mission would lead him to stick his snout where it shouldn't be...
