Three Different Ways:
Dreams, Madness, and Myths

  • Larger On The Outside

    Dter1 went back to my parents’ house to pick up any mail still going there. It was her first time setting foot at the property since leaving the week before Christmas. I could tell something was bothering her after she came home, but I did not pry. She remained apart from me for an hour…

  • Blue Shift

    Until yesterday, astronomical events didn’t fuck with me any more or any less that any other person on this planet. Eclipses were a time of detached observation and an excuse to indulge in terrible puns while teasing the local doomsayer. I knew there would be a solar eclipse yesterday, that the only area affected by…

  • Dream Journal: Soft. Be Still.

    I wasn’t trying for anything, I was just trying to sleep. Anxieties I had ignored for too long and worries that overfed each other crawled into my bones, making me ache from head to toe. I couldn’t sleep. I thought to get out of bed and do something constructive like finally count how many tarot…

Work and commute during the week left me very tired after work and the weekends never had enough hours to take care of everything, so I still have four banker boxes of old paperwork to sort through. It’s not helping that the…

    I had barely closed my eyes when Malphas1 was upon me.

  • Dream Journal: 2018-01-11.01

    I fell through a thousand worlds. Through winters and summers. Through solid rock and open skies. Silks and furs and iron couldn’t hold me. Plastics and biofilms and networks couldn’t catch me. I had no place in any of them. I fell through a thousand worlds in the blink of an eye and landed on…

  • Dream Journal: 2018-01-07.01

    A phone is ringing. I pick up the nearest handset, but the ringing continues. It is the wrong handset.
