Strange

“An invisible liquid is flowing everywhere, forever, since the dawn of ages. It is in our air, in our food, in our hair, and in our water. It originates from the Evil Seed, and it spreads through time and space, gunking and polluting everything it touches.

Because of this liquid, the illusion of duality has been imposed upon us, and we now think we are small creatures, pawns of our fate. In reality, we could be so much more, but to gain back this clarity, we’ll have to clear ourselves from the Sqwork.

In order to do this, there are to steps to execute:

1. Individuate it and recognize it
2. Block it with special crystals, so it cannot flow anymore.

We’ll fly through the sky towards the Empty Lands, guided by our instincts. We’ll retrieve the crystals from the Golden Tree of Destiny, and finally accomplish our new fate, and embody our true nature of Gods.”

From the Journals of Kom 17,II

A screech. Another one.

“He is a good boy, give him time.”

Trapped in the middle of the Earth.
What else could I do?

A bullet is being shot, somewhere in space-time.

“Index fingers are becoming way too lethal, right Mark?”

The command room begins to shine.
All the buttons light up rhythmically, harmoniously.
The hunt was a success.

“Hey, I’ll take that acid” – I said
But then, instead of getting high, I woke up. In a hospital bed.
I was a different guy, though.

A 55 years old guy, who apparently has been sleeping in a deep coma for 5.

I remembered who I was, Jason, the guy who wanted to try acid. My past life, or so it seemed?
I went and checked in the library’s archives for my name, everywhere, and of course on Google.

And it turns out, Jason died that same night of 5 years ago, when I was supposed to have taken that acid, in a car accident?

So, well, I decided to embrace that situation.
I lived my new life, I came “back” with my wife and my 2 kids, I had no memories but they accepted me.
I stayed with them for 20 years and then, one day, I passed away.
That’s when the acid hit me.

“Jason, are you ok? You look pretty fucked up. One drop was supposed to be enough… You shouldn’t have taken the whole bottle”

It appears that Halloween’s pumpkins actually come from the aliens. On the 9th of August of some centuries ago, a golden UFO descended on Earth. It was golden, and very tall, like those metal Inception’s style spinning tops, but reversed, and with a lot of “eyes” on the top part, half spheres, colored like the colors of the rainbow.

The thing started to spit rays, and to destroy the Earth itself. It carved out the rivers, and the lakes, and even some smaller seas. Its advance was unstoppable, but at some point, it did stop. A beautiful pumpkin was on the ground, and they fell in love. The pumpkin was actually a girl, but she was wearing only orange underwear, and her smile was so wide, that the alien thing mistaken her for a Halloween pumpkin. Which is very weird because at that time Halloween pumpkins still didn’t existed. This is a very strange phenomenon that nobody can still explain to this day.

But the girl and UFO loved each other, he kidnapped her and brought her up in the sky, to watch the stars very closely, and then to watch the world from there. They lived a happy life, listening to the Smashing Pumpkins together, and waiting together for another happy day to come…

I wanted to jump, but then I couldn’t.
The floor is too hot.

I have a feeling, that none of this is real, that none of this is really helpful.

I think I am stuck here forever, there it goes…
An eternal spiral of downward frustration, everything I do is a half mistake.

And that very half, is the one that eventually ends up mattering the most anyway.

Right?
