we lie in waitgrime-tinted hail & filthy grey raindrops contend with decades of inexplicably rapid swamp overgrowth & the ravages of time to tear bricks from the archaic building's sides & bring it collapsing down into the foul marshes beneath. a jagged crack of lightning illuminates the nightsky, bringing the entirety of its forlorn wretchedness to light, ever so briefly.
cut to: > int. abandoned asylum cell - continuous;
the clangor of 1000 hauntings ring out from every wall, out of every corner, down every hall... coiled inward upon itself beside the scant remnants of a fire long spent, a frail emaciated creature shivers with its entire body - not from the cold outside, but from the cold that it breathes, stirs in its lungs, drags up & down its throat... with a mouth so slack it would suggest a dislocated jaw, it shrieks an indescribable madness into a tattered paper bag, full of deep black miasma like paint fumes & bleeding fog... all through its deafening aria, the creature's sunken vacant eyes roll like marbles, watching the door, the windows, the cracks strewn all about this 3-dimensional void - always waiting. watching & waiting, patient as a dead tree, for the dreaded indistinguishable phantasms that swarm out of nothingness to collect the wayward, the wasted & the worthless, to carry them off to the pillories, or the abattoir, or the electric chairs... it's been a long time but the creature remains, always watching, always waiting. howling its vile dissonance deep into a shallow grave & waiting for death to stir within yet again, to escort the broken creature back towards its echoing doom... and so it remains, for a long time...

Distressed
but seriously... i've just begun my 6th year as a participating member of this website. it's been a helluva trip, one i certainly could lament and/or celebrate to no reasonable end in my usual blur of half-decipherable wurds. but i made a halfass attempt to do something like that last year, for my 5 year anniversary & i never came close to finishing it (go figure), so i'll simply send out a few brief but heartfelt thanks & be done with the self-indulgence.
