There once was a word who became dissatisfied that its meaning was always considered fixed in people's minds. Language continually changes; use constantly evolves; no set of associations is the same. Still, at any given moment, there was that certainty in the minds of speakers and, worse—because twice removed—in listeners' minds.
This is what the word thought and this is how the word felt. No other word was bothered, but this one was self-conscious and very strong.
One day, the word decided to give meaning to itself. It gave itself a meaning that no one would suspect, and it vowed to keep this new and unsuspected meaning forever within the contours of its letters.
No one would know that the word had changed its meaning. This is how the word won its freedom and loneliness.
