There is a place between. It exists in the nothing. Containing everything. All the variations of probability contained within its halls. Vast rooms holding the fascinating, the mundane, the dangerous. Would you dare brave this place? You might be tempted or torn. Or you may find exactly what you desire. You might be an explorer…

They come down like tiny gems. Glistening in the starlight. Gathering like teardrops on the eyelashes of a widow. Precious and significant. The house creaks under the gentle weight. As I pick raindrops to bet my dreams on as they race. *** They have lives too you know. They have come so far. Drawn down…

I came from nothing. From everything. A thought or promise. A whisper of existence. Premonition of possibility. Potential shaped and made manifest. *** Then a shift happened. I became a part of something. A part of everything. Separate and distinct. Different from the rest but bound by the same rules. Realization of what could be.…

Creamy, soft, sweet. Moldable but crisp. Colorful like old fashioned salt water taffy sold by the barrel. Orderly like candy buttons peeled off paper by the teeth. That is what I want to be.

Why are you one of the hunted? I know you tire of the chase. You have been here before. Know these dark halls. They are both your safety and prison. Hoping to befriend them before your enemy does. *** Do you not know how they attack? I know you have felt their teeth before. The…
