this moment will be in the back of your mind and you will respect everything I am, all the things you will never be. Bet your life on it government hero!"
     
    No words will ever help to describe the feeling in my soul on that fateful afternoon with my wife. My heart racing, my life changed forever as we share a moment unlike any before it. "Are you serious?! No way! I'm gonna' be a father!" I shout, barely able to contain my excitement.
     
    "One hundred percent confirmed, I'm five weeks pregnant." Angela responds with a huge smile.
     
    "I'm gonna' be a father! Did you hear that Ronny? I'm gonna' be a dad!"
     
    "Great news bro, congratulations, hope it's a boy." Ronny says, calling back from the kitchen.
     
    I turn my focus back to Angela who seems thrilled at my reaction. "Babe, you had me so worried with being sick lately. I can't believe this stared me in the face like that and I missed it all together."
     
    "The doctor says I'm fine, that everything is text book so far."
     
    The future seems like anything is possible as I sit across from the woman I love, my beautiful wife. Many ideas of family come to life in this moment and I'm ready for whatever comes next, to raise my child in this world, or at least I thought I was.
     
    "Have you thought of any names for our son yet?"
     
    Her smile seems to get wider and wider as her excitement grows. "Our son huh? Completely convinced it's a boy are you?" Angela says, an eye wider to me.
     
    "Call it a hunch, I do need an heir to my kingdom." I reply.
     
    "I thought I was the master of the universe babe." Angela says with a laugh.
     
    "You know I am the one true master of the universe, my kingdom stretches far."
     
    Within an instant, something comes rushing over me as my vision flashes and then fades. So vivid now, so clear as I follow a figure moving fast, faster than anything I've ever seen. Ahead of me, eluding my approach as a cloak ripples in the distance, like the figure that appears in so many of my paintings. This world is foreign, with two distant stars that paint a constant feeling of surrealism. Such a strange concept, such an alien place and I ask myself with a sudden awareness, dear God is this my painting?
     
    Following the figure, we scale the colossal mountaintop as he comes to a stop at its edge. Matching his speed, I feel the very fabric of space bend to my command, faster toward this target, faster till I too share the mountains end as the figure keeps its back to me. "We are one, together ." The mysterious figure's tone is cryptic. "Are you ready Lord Mortal ?"
     
    "What?!" I ask. "Who are you?!"
     
    "We are Mortalitus , we are one." The figure says as it turns sharply toward me.
     
    A black cloak covers this creature, hiding its identity, a face hidden in shadow. Its eyes glow through the darkness surrounding, burning and seething with energy. What is this place, what does all this mean? With that final thought I snap out of it to see my wife's smile turn to concern, for I've been away. "What happened? You ok sweetheart? Angela asks with a look of worry.
     
    "I…I'm fine, just daydreaming…Mortalitus? What does it mean?"
     
    "Mortalitus? Where did you hear that?
     
    "Um, I heard it earlier today." I quickly reply reaching for my cell phone and pushing a button to give a command, a world of information at my fingertips. "Define Mortalitus."
     
    "Mortalitus unknown." The simple answer leads me to another dead end.
     
    "We are Mortalitus? We are one? Who is Mortalitus?" I question, continuing to search for answers.
     
    "Hey, that's kinda cool as a name ya' know, I like it." Angela says.
     
    "Strange days sweetheart. Let's finish up; I have to get to the gallery for the interview."
     
    Angela begins to collect her purse and belongings as I clear our table. "I'm gonna' head home and change, why don't I just meet you at the gallery? Good luck love."
     
    We both are ready to leave as I walk to the trash bin to empty our tray. I wrap my arm
