Dr. Simon Gottisttot

Dr. Simon Gottisttot. HoD Awaits You.


      Gottisttot upholstered himself in the oddest perfect smile. Through his blinds the sky-blues made zebras of Borrada’s vision and helped him to hear Gottisttot’s words and to link them.
      “What is that they always quoted you as saying, ‘happiness is possible with a simple acknowledgement’? Yet to see your sadness…”
      “I know happiness is possible for us all. I know all the problems; I know my problem, but the implementation of the solution is slow coming.”
      “You don’t apprehend your problem, Tristeza, nor those of our people. The problem; your problem is that the solutions and implementations are already here.” And he tapped two fingertips on Borrada’s empty chest. Borrada could feel the resonance in the hollow.
      “If you cannot yet feel it,” Gottisttot said, “then do what humanity does…” He raised his brows behind his fringe. “Exist, Tristeza. There is nothing but to exist for existence’ sake.”
