Sound Advice

Today Tizer described to me his hatred of seagulls.

"Might it be best if we just killed them all?" he considered.

"Um... no," I decided, "That would probably wreak havoc with the ecosystems and whatnot."

Tizer looked at me gravely. "Ecosystems do not exist, human," he told me, "They are merely an illusion to suggest order, balance and importance where there is none."

I frowned. "I'm not sure that theory is scientifically sound."

Tizer replied, quietly, "Anything can be sound if you know how to listen to it."
