《Observations of the Nameless》Change
Advertisement
Change can be scary sometimes. Not just the world around us, but the things that we believe and hold dear. It can be a simple thing, like mispronouncing a word. It can be as complex as an entire worldview shattering around you and needing to figure out what kind of glue can salvage it. Side note, it’s probably epoxy or Loctite.
But it’s not like every change should shatter a worldview, not in my opinion at least. It’s more like some are just harder to understand after the fact. A mirror with a crack through the middle will never be the same as it once was. That single line of imperfection will last until the end of time, and nothing can fix it.
It’s not to say that this one crack will undoubtably shift a person’s outlook, but it can happen. When you see all the things I have, you don’t come out the same. Honestly, I don’t know how much of me is left at this point. I’ve changed so many times that it is hard to keep count. Granted, losing count isn’t that bad if the changes help. People change for the better all the time, they just don’t always notice it.
Sometimes changes go unnoticed. Sometimes, change shouldn’t be noticed.
That depends on the change though.

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
