Could this be the Apocalypse ?

Perhaps because I'll never be one, humans are interesting to me.

Dying makes everyone weaker, subject to painful insight, and not always insight into any kind of special truth - it's just the approaching end that makes people want to believe they are seeing something in the line of a great revelation.

I was good at being charming, one of my very few vanities.

...my conscience has the same hard reality as a unicorn.

Life's only obligation, afterall, was to be interesting.

IN MY LIFELONG STUDY OF HUMAN BEINGS, I HAVE FOUND that no matter how hard they might try, they have found no way yet to prevent the arrival of Monday morning. And they do try, of course, but Monday always comes, and all the drones have to scuttle back to their dreary workaday lives of meaningless toil and suffering.
