Ex is the cause of my insanity. If only I'd known.. "Known what?" Asks a little voice inside my head. My friends often wondered how and why I'd gone mad. I wasn't always mad, you know. I was perfectly fine ... until I arrived in Ex ... It was a lovely place, all in all. The the air of intrigue confused me utterly. And at times, made me want to do something drastic; anything to get rid of that feeling. I'd spent three days in Cumber Poidy before I'd arrived there. The Cumber Poidy Choir are quite talented, if I say so myself. And before Cumber Poidy, I'd been in Jail. Best seafood I ever ate. The first two days in Ex went well. I traded limericks for directions to The Tower of Interosseus. Just to see, of course. It's where the government meets. Didn't see anyone there though. Too bad. I wanted to meet the Minister of Silence; heard he's awfully quiet but silence equals intrigue. And then it happened. March 5th was the day I officially became psychologically damaged. No one would utter a word. Not anything. The silence.. oh, it was torture. I ran, screaming my head off, yet it was as if they didn't or wouldn't hear me. And after many hours of this, I broke. I live in a mental institution now. Ah.. if only I'd known.. March 5th is Ex's Day of Complete Silence. Written by Naimah Seeress Myst.
