cracked open at the park, the little girl was swallowed inside the
chasm. It wasn't my first time positioned in entropy's graceful side,
and even though I knew the wrongness of what I was about to do, I
didn't even flinch. I moved past her - emptying my heart of guilt and
making room for a strangely familiar reprieve. Her accidental fall
was but an opportunity for me. Her little bicycle, toppled at the
edge of the chasm, was there for me to take.<span></span></span></span></p><a href="https://denhams-dentifrice.blogspot.com/2021/10/excerpts-from-sleepless-cycle-bicycle.html#more"></a>Phineas Clockwordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14781508314860142179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684553290764350569.post-53226231217562200602021-10-03T23:30:00.005+03:002021-10-21T19:59:04.709+03:00Erik
<p align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Whenever Erik would
visit Rust Alley, he'd see the donkey-headed man grinning at him.
Erik would look at his big white teeth, even though he isn't supposed
to, and the donkey-headed man would say a thing so weird, that the
contemplation of its meaning would consume in unhealthy ways a good
portion of Erik's waking life. Sometimes it would haunt his dreams
too. </span></span>
</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The donkey-headed
man is three legged, blind and vast. His appendices stretch away,
hiding in the shadowy corners of the alley. Heart-shaped sunglasses
reflect the lamppost's light, looking back at Erik with two bright
pupils, and like graffiti on a wall, his body merges with the
derelict shacks behind him. He says:</span></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
“<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Why do I hear a
telephone ringing? The wiring isn't installed properly. Am I blind?
Am I not deaf? Ruined by your vindication, I smile to welcome fear,
for a broken messenger I am. Would you fix me with your coins?”<span></span></span></span></p><a href="https://denhams-dentifrice.blogspot.com/2021/10/erik.html#more"></a>Phineas Clockwordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14781508314860142179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684553290764350569.post-9455447440379859162021-07-28T21:16:00.005+03:002021-12-29T19:26:05.900+02:00An Exclusive Interview with P.

<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.2cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was telling her
something.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.2cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But then I turned my
head to look at her, and I realized, I wasn't. I just imagined I did.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.2cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I then went to open
my mouth to tell her what I wanted, but I couldn't remember what it
was.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.2cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">How did I get here?
Is this even real? Is she sitting right beside me, or is her
bewitching perfume the longing of a distant memory? </span></span>

<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.2cm;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I am now alone, in

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A clock begun to
tick.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And I charged into
the battlefield.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Leaping feet, sword
in hand and a silent battle cry filling my mind with blasting rage.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I saw her coming
from the other side. Shinning white armor, determined stride, face
painted death. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Overtaken by a
terrible ecstasy, my eyes blazed with glorious hatred, my arms
transformed into weapons of justice. The command had been given. The
enemy was in sight. First blood was about to be drawn.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But then, she
stopped. Right in the middle of the battlefield, she stopped. Idly
staring at me, staring at her own demise.<span></span></span></span></div></div><a href="https://denhams-dentifrice.blogspot.com/2020/04/queendom-come.html#more"></a>Phineas Clockwordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14781508314860142179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684553290764350569.post-46398099539874164672019-04-08T18:44:00.001+03:002021-10-06T02:59:36.823+03:00Pagan<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There was a time not
long ago, when man believed.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">When morals were
held in hand alongside faith, and people were content to surrender to
powers beyond their mortal capability, for a divine favor.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And life is always
harsh.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The people of the
village of Onslo knew it well.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stuck like a limpet
on a sea rock, the village rooted against a steep slope, close to the
highest peaks of Mount Vunio. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">On its feet, the
thick cloud blanket kept the village away from an old, forgotten
world beneath. The Cloud Gods were not remembered fondly, or
hatefully there. In such a place their names were nothing more than a
distant memory. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Someone else's tale.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But for the people
of Onslo, the giants carried a relentless winter on their backs. And
spring, was something that had to be earned, by blood and sweat and
sacrifice. </span></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So the people of
Onslo believed.</span></span><br>

<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's dark and wet.
I'm wet. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I'm accompanied by
things unworthy of my great heritage. The crumbled candy wrap, the
coins of petty value, the surrounding lint and hair. A key amongst
sesame seeds. Has this pocket ever been emptied?</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Why did I end up

<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Because I haven't
always been a napkin. No. I was made for more. I used to be proud and
brave and ruthless.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Some nights the
chandlers would come.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">They would take me
in my sleep and do things on me.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Tied on a wooden
altar, I could only stare at their bleak, static faces, as they
scrutinized my body. </span></span>
</div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The one who doesn't
speak, always cared for my perfect alignment against the altar. My
hands touching my thighs, my knees and ankles touching together.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The one who never
talks, carried a heavy, leather bag. The metallic tools contained
within were carefully arranged along an invisible surface. Even
though, I could not turn my head to look at them, I knew they were
pointed at me.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The third one, the
one who only smiles, she would just stay unmoving in front of my
face. Eyeless and white. Like trying to distract me from everything
about to happen.<span></span></span></span></div></div><a href="https://denhams-dentifrice.blogspot.com/2018/04/excerpts-from-sleepless-cycle-candle.html#more"></a>Phineas Clockwordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14781508314860142179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684553290764350569.post-37861654980848039792018-03-31T01:57:00.000+03:002020-03-08T22:27:43.344+02:00Excerpts from the Sleepless Cycle - Ants<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Ants came while I
was asleep.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">They took my left
eyebrow.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Carried over and
planted all the hair above my right one. Now, I have just one big
eyebrow. It doesn't feel right.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's uneven.
Asymmetrical. Odd.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I find myself
leaning to my right side when I talk to people. They say nothing,
don't even seem to notice it. But I know they're are either being
polite or ashamed of my unfortunate face. All in all, I'd rather have
their outright mockery, than a silent pity.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I don't know why the
ants did that. Who told them to? Could it be the King of Ants, whom
I've never heard about? The big shadow cast above my right eye blurs
the answers.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One thing is for
certain though, they're coming for my nostril hair next. They'll put
it inside my ears.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That's why I filled
them up with silicon. Insulation. That'll stop them. Trading some of
my senses is probably worth them leaving me alone.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As for my nostril
hair, it won't be easy finding it, while along with my
nose, it's in the garbage can.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If only the blood
would stop pouring on the paper, I would consider this a clean
victory.</span></span></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 1.5cm;">

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The night hag comes
while I sleep. With her wooden ladle she eats soup out of my open
head. She stirs my dreams and sniffs the vapors through her hairy
nostrils.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That's why they're
always whirling when I wake up, and only the bits she left I can
remember.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , monospace;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I will find you
witch. I will take my dreams back. I can shatter them myself, all but
the same.</span></span></div>

<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Fitz's Challenge<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Welcome to News, where we talk about the past.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
following series is created by the exceptionally perceptive writer
and cartoonist (among others) <a href="http://webfictionguide.com/listings/existential-terror-and-breakfast/">Rev. Fitz</a></span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It
follows Malcolm Steadman along his early-morning meteor shower of
ominous realizations, while he only does what he believes to be
“nothing”<span style="color: #0000ee;">.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The proof: <a href="http://revfitz.com/%ef%bb%bfexistential-terror-and-breakfast-1/">Existential Terror and Breakfast</a> </span> </div>
<div lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's
the simple stuff that get you nervous. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
inescapable, mundane activities you have to go through in order to be
and therefore think. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Every
little detail of that small around you. They perpetually repeat before
your eyes until reality's colors fade away and the things which were
previously defined and common, are now something new. </span>
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">They
have become a question.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">A
completely unexpected and superficially illogical one, yet enough to
fire the engines of an inevitable train of thought.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It
can be anything, really.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Like
breakfast.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Malcolm
Steadman has breakfast every day and every day he has mixed feelings
about it.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">It's
witty, humorous and contemplative and bottom line is I enjoy it a
lot. It's as enjoyable as if food for thought is actually ice cream
and you just realized you're not lactose intolerant.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">So
check it out.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-US">Also,
check out the “31 Days of First Impressions Challenge” he
started: <a href="http://revfitz.com/day-twenty-three-denhams-dentifrice/">Day 23: Denham's Dentifrice</a></span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-US"> </span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="en-US">Every
day he's judging yet another book by its cover. He was kind to speak his mind about Denham's Dentifrice.</span></span><br />

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">Theodore was slightly rocking, silent
on the chair. Outside, in the absence of wind, the rain was falling
vertically along the surfaces and it sounded so orchestrated, so
even, like a sequence of notes repeating over and over. Lost inside a
reverie of new-found realizations, shades of mystery and dread
emerged to darken his mind. Like pieces in a dreamed-of puzzle the
memories came together, creating menacing, strangely familiar
shapes. </span>

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif"> The
room wasn't particularly spacious and the thick beams on the ceiling
hanging a little above Theodore's head made it look even smaller. The
decoration, before it was furiously altered, involved bookcases
filled with leather-bound books and a collection of various academic
tools, from pens and compasses to telescopes and astrolabes. Now,
everything lied on the floor with most of the items beyond the state
of a simple repair. </span>

<br>
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">He reluctantly got off the bed and
moved his still slumbering body towards the window. Under a dense
ceiling of gray clouds the city was already awake. The streets below
crawled with people, crafting, trading, strolling around as much as
they could, before the skies cracked open once more. His over
indulgence in liquors last night had provided for a devious bowel and
a nice headache, so he poured some water on his face to consolidate
his senses. As he saw his dreary reflection in the water-bowl, he

reason to grab the day by the sideburns and not call in sick. </span><br>

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">The rain was still pouring outside,
but the heat of the fireplace and the chaotic chatter of the
customers dispelled it from Theodore's mind. One of Rumporth's more
questionably decent taverns, The Handsome Devil was cramped this hour
of the day. The owner of the place, always sitting behind the bar was
definitely not handsome, but he did possess some undefined devilish
quality. </span><br>

<span face=""arial" , sans-serif">The light filtering through the dark
blanket of clouds was fading and oil lanterns took its place. Heavy
rain was pouring down like God's rods, crumbling Theodore Hold's
constantly malfunctioning parasol and aptly revealing him to be as
out of place as he already felt. A chapel was nearby. He stood beside
a weather-beaten cypress tree, part of a small congregation of
figures surrounding a hole in the ground. Funerals always made him
uneasy. It was the people there. This one, luckily, was attended only
by a few. </span>

much thinking</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">He
drove across plains in his shiny white Porsche</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">(Some
say it's unfitting, improper and silly</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">And
he battled for a king</span>

<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">who
was known to be just</span></div>

</div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">like
they say it is a “must”</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Liberating
helpless people using pointy battle forks</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">swording

<br /></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

he did all deeds of valor</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Even
he became a sailor</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">to
explore all magic places</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

despite trying a lot</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">little
pleasure to him brought</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

They stood for a moment
looking at each other trying to adjust their minds on the curious
encounter they just had. The girl seemed lost in her thoughts, but
her big almond-shaped eyes looked calm and aloof, like she wasn't
really surprised by what had
just happened. Ovolon noticed this and spoke first.
<br>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“You seem like we
didn't just met a God. Have you ever met one before?” he asked with
a half-fake inspecting tone.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“I don't think so.”
answered the girl.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“Aren't you surprised?”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“Well we met someone
who claimed to be a God and who gave us a map to the end of the
world. It is what it is.” said the girl and gave him a smile like
all the cares and the burdens of this world were not enough to
smother her optimism.<br>

inside a toilet above the septic pipes</span></div>
<div align="CENTER" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">there
it sat comfortably among the yellow waters</span></div>

solid as a rock it came to suppress</span></div>

The sun was already up,
having emerged from between the distant sand dunes in the east. The
girl watched Ovolon as he was packing their things to go. The look of
him; crouching, carefully stuffing everything inside his backpack,
with messy curly hair and an unshaven chin, reminded her of monkeys
eating lice from each other's backs.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“Ahem, so where to
now?” she asked in a faked serious tone and tried to hide a giggle
as Ovolon turned his head and looked at her with confusion.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“I thought you knew!”</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
“Nope. No idea what to
do now. All I knew was that we should hurry get inside. I don't even
remember why. Maybe it was just a hunch.” she said as she strolled
around him, with her hands behind her back and her head looking up
the sky.<br>
