First Name: Q. Last Name: None, so I adopted one. Age: 6,008. Pronouns: It/its. Address: the fifth house on the left. Species: Purple Person—a descriptive if not too imaginative name. My existence is a melange—a word which here means “mixture or combination”—of several largely unrelated literary universes. Pleased to meet you. The world is quiet here.
