《incomprehensible thoughts》Lost Things (Rewritten)
Advertisement
What the hell is happening?
Why is everything falling away?
Like Grandaddy dying suddenly
Or forgetting, what is today?
Why can't things go back to normal?
Like they were when I was ten?
Is it all in the past, in a cave of lost things?
Everything was so simple back then...
It's depressing, and tiring, and generally sucks
Or am I just 'being dramatic'?
I don't even know who the hell I am
So should I just be made of plastic?
Everything's changing, leaving, appearing
And I know it's just part of life
But what if life just stops, without warning
What if I don't wake up because of a knife?
And it's like no one cares, the world's "just fine"
But no, it's really not!
People are dying, and everyone just wants money
Get your priorities straight before you're just- gone!
The point of this, I'll never know
It's really just a depressing rant
But everything's so fucked up, I hate it, I do
So I think I'll go eat some ranch
I realized how true the original was so I rewrote it so it's 100% accurate, life's shit right now, but at least I have poems, my story, and my friends
Question of the Day: Can you write in cursive? I tried and kind of can but my signature sucks-

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away
