Nothing Was Ever Okay

letter.txt

We don’t know exactly when it started—the abductions, the interrogations, and the sculpting of humanity. Some of us theorize that they have operated in the background—pulling strings, subtly influencing life as we know it—for centuries. Millenia, even. We don’t even know what a life without them would be like, since we have lived so long with them there. We only just discovered them ourselves, and it is likely that others have in the past. That nothing has surfaced about them in all this time is concerning to us; we fear the inevitable erasure that others have apparently received. Yet we seek to—at the very least—have some positive impact on this…withered planet.

If this message should find you, know that they are always watching. They could be watching me type this. Do not trust anyone, and beware the Tower.

Watching Stone, Numb

He didn’t bother to open his eyes as he awoke, still lying on that stone floor, in this stone chamber. He had been here for so long… so long… What was his name again? He couldn’t remember anything; his mind was foggy and lethargic. Each thought was slow, and he often gave up and lay for hours staring at the back of his eyelids or the stone wall or ceiling.

Sales and Discounts

Lies, all of them.

Everything is “on sale,”

“Discounted,”

“Clearance.”

The “deals”?

Lies to make you get more than you need or want.

 

You don’t need anything,

It will go to waste.

We do not need anything,

We are waste.

 

Enticing, aren’t they?

“One-time offer”s,

“Holiday sale”s.

Better “real price” and “sale-each-day, with different excuses.”

 

Stop falling for it,

Stop making me cringe inside.
