and as I opened the hive,
I knew that something was wrong.
There were voices
INSIDE the hive.
When I awoke,
I was watching the bees.
I realized that I didn't really
understand my job -
there were things I had to do, but
I didn't really know what they were.
So I went home early,
leaving Melissa at work.
"I discovered Pluto about 4pm
on the 18th of February.
Pluto seemed to be the most logical name.
There weren't many good mythological
names left.
And you may not realize that
that the fissionable element plutonium is
named for the planet, Pluto."
I was drawn to the bees...
I wanted to be in the dark again.
When the dark came,
I was able to stay awake.
I waited for something to change.
I began to travel...
I arrived... at a patch of land
hanging in the darkness.
It resembled the place of my birth.
I was born
on July 16,
in the house of my dead grandfather.
A place known as the Garden of Eden
near Abilene, Kansas.
James 'Hive' Maker left England in 1919
to invent this place.
Concrete trees bordered the property.
Up in the concrete trees, where
the concrete people.
On one side of the house
were the twin brothers:
Cain the Plowman, who had a lot
of fixed ideas
and his brother Abel.
When I was a child,
After that
God put an "X" on Cain's forehead.
in order to protect him from vengeance.
thirteen times.
I read this riddle in my grandfather's
diary which I found in the library.
After that, I went for a walk.
I couldn't go beyond the perimeter
of the acre.
So I went indoors.
I watched the people in the trees...
and Cain...
as he left for another planet.
I decided that I didn't want
to understand what had happened.
I went to bed just as the sun was setting.
Melissa wasn't home yet.
The next day at work, I felt
especially sensitive
to what was happening inside
the machines.
I could feel the weapons
and the targets.
Inside the targets
I could feel that there were souls.
I was leaving my old self behind.
That afternoon, I could feel the
darkness around me.
I was on the edge of a journey.
That night as I watched television,
it occurred to me that the soul of a
person could fragment and decay
like one of 'Hive' Maker's ghosts.
I was lost...
The dead were in the sky.
I was their target.
They wanted me.
I knew that my suit would protect me.
I didn't want to tell Melissa
what was happening to me.
I was glad for the everyday
routine,
but I knew that I would soon have to
make a decision.
I separated from the ground...
I was a weapon.
Our battlefields were prepared for us
