Maybe history is not set in stone. Maybe it's just a story we tell ourselves, so that we can wrap our minds around how the hell we got to where we are now.

To be completely alone, surrounded by thousands of people.

Frogs, insects, fish, what makes them so different from us? They are conscious, too. They live, they breathe. We pick them apart when they die, daggers and combs into their skin. Why should we face a different fate?

A Brief Foray Into Predestination
Sat, 02 Dec 2023 05:30:00 -0400
There is an old proverb in Heart that goes like this:
"When the fighting is past, there will come a time when we will gaze out from our castle walls and tell ourselves we will stand tall forever. Only then, in our moment of pride, will these stones crumble beneath our feet."

People may forget things. It's part of what makes them human in the first place. But the earth doesn't forget. The trees and stones carry memory through the ages, caring precious little for terms like past or present. The stone and the trees will remember the debts you owe. Maybe you shouldn't have survived those woods last time. Maybe you won't this time.

The Slow and Methodical Death of a City
Fri, 17 Nov 2023 05:30:00 -0400
There's a curse on this foul city. It pours through the cracks in the walls. Seeps into the blood of the people. There's a curse on this city, and it is whispering to me. Do you hear it, too?

The Swift and Brutal Killing of a Man

"A lie is just a diverging strand of the truth, not its opposite. From a lie we can extrapolate information: what details are thought to be important, what real ideals are held by those who have the power in shaping their story. Lies are not the opposite of truth. The opposite of truth is the absence of any information at all. There is no truth but the one we can see for ourselves. And there is no lie but the one we can know to be false."

"Where does science stop, and magic begin? Supernatural is relative. It is relative to how much we know about our world. That which we can know, we can face. We may fear it, but we can face it. That which is unknown, though, we stand no chance against. When we stand in front of the unknown, we are tiny, helpless creatures, and the light has been shut off."

Evil may only enter our lives willingly. We shut it out, let its tune pass over us in waves as we ignore its call. Eventually, though, we must invite it in. Hear the song it sings. So tell me, Father: what's behind that door?
