but people aren't just puzzles that can be created and taken

  but people aren't just puzzles
  that can be created and taken apart, because with puzzles you can
  tell when a piece is missing - you spot a gape and you have a
  vague idea as to what piece is missing - people aren't like
  that. we are sand, we consist of hundreds of thousands of
  molecules, we are several hundred million grains of sand and
  sometimes a grain will fall from the sculpture that is our bodies
  and our souls. with time we wither as the ocean soaks into our
  frame and soon we start to sag, the grains collapse and crumple -
  some fall off in chunks - but we do not notice because we consist
  of so many little pieces that one grain will not be missed. until
  one day, after several million grains of sand - several million
  grains of you - have crumpled and been washed away by the ocean
  do you start to feel empty, and you notice this gape within you
  and you have no idea as to when or even how you had lost this
  part of yourself, you cannot find it because it consisted of many
  pieces and it is so very small. it has no shape, it is just a
  mass of nothing, and you crawl along the floor in a vain attempt
  to find all your missing pieces but they all look the same and is
  this piece even yours or are you stealing someone else's
  missing grains of sand? we do not consist of five hundred pieces
  of cardboard cut into geometric shapes, we are sand and we erode
  at a pace so slow we do not even realise we are missing chunks of
  ourselves until the ocean has eaten everything that makes us who
  we are.
