Hazel’s monologue

I just wanna say… there will come a time when, you know, all of us are dead. It might be tomorrow. Might be a million years from now but… it's gonna happen. And when it does, enough generations will come and go, there'll be no one left to remember Cleopatra. Or Mozart. Or Muhammad Ali, let alone any of us. Oblivion's inevitable, dude. And if that scares you, well, I suggest you ignore it. God knows it's what everyone else does.
