The Wakeful Dreamer

The second in the series of collected works set in Alexander's Universe, a world where the Boy King did not die in Babylon but somewhere in the Himalayas discovered immortality;
"I watched Alexander die in Babylon, I filed past his bed as he breathed is last with the rest of his army; that iconic moment really took place but then, it did not.. I remain immortal and have watched what you would consider Modern Western Civilisation come to be. I met Caesar, I met Jesus the Nazarene on the via Dolorosa before he was crucified ( I was that roman soldier), I fought in many of your wars, I smashed down the gates as we liberated concentration camps and saw unspeakable horrors. I watched your world become and also that it never was; I have lived in both both worlds. I have lived as a lost, wayward immortal without answers or purpose and i have stood beside the man who united the world - from sunrise to sunset - into one Hegemonic whole."
