Into The Vortex: Recent Episodes
Into-the-Vortex
The decent into obscurity - the lost stories from a different life
I tell stories. Stories I have written. Some of them dark. Some of them bright. Some of them true. Some of them pure fantasy. Some of them a mixture.
Maybe there will be a poem from time to time.
"Just because it didn't happen doesn't mean it's not true. Or just because something DID happen doesn't mean it is true. The best stories, my friend, the most important stories, the stories that had the biggest influence on humanity very often didn't happen at all"
... to be continued ...

"Tradition only means we've gotten used to it. Like the punch in the face or the kick in the stomach when he had been drinking again. We have become used to it and so we accept it as normal."

"Glass" - Lost stories from a different life
They say life flashes before your eyes before you die. All at once. In a split second. All you ever experienced, all the good things that happened. All the joyful hours. Stretched to eternity and compressed into one moment. An implosion of beauty. The Gods are not as evil as some claim.

If you look very closely The sky is still blue.
There are clouds, yes. There is rain and sometimes snow. There might be even a thunderstorm, With wind rattling on your door And closed windows. But tomorrow, when it’s calm again, Despite the little clouds on the horizon The sky is still blue.
If you look very closely. It always has been.
