In Memoriam
“I make my back, to the hometown that looks just the same. The schools and the factories, standing alone still remain. But the faces have changed, and the ones that I knew are gone. And I hear the laughter and voices still echo my name…“ — Celtus, “Rosa-Ree” The places...

Burning Dreams, Fallen Worlds
Our minds are nothing. Formless, timeless, existing within ourselves as a paradox, something more than the sum of its parts.

Sinister...
Just finished reading Phoenix Feathers (which I was long overdue to do)… Liberi Fatali starts playing… Fithos… Lusec… Wecos… Vinosec… A bell tolls in the distance… I look at the PC clock: 00:00…. Stranger things have happened, I guess… But it was still pretty weird.
