"Just a moment"
That's how far the Ancients got, carving their ageless and senseless wisdom into a basalt crypt. Inside, it is rumored, lies the body of the only Ancient who stayed on Earth, the only one who didn't enter a coffee-powered stone space ship and whoosh his way to the stars. I don't know what this was actually supposed to say. Nobody really does, but we like to pretend. A man with more time and sneakyness than he knew what to do with finished the sentiment. He carved the letters below the originals, carefully in the same font, the same size, lined up perfectly. The sentiment is finished. The idea complete.
