A Face In A Blur

I had a dream.  A dream that was vivid enough to perpetuate lucidity.  It wasn’t the first time I had seen the decadence of the past pervading the future.  These ideals, and imperfections haunt me every now and then, but never like this.  My bed was moist, for I had sweat vigorously.  Despite my discomfort, I arrived to a calming, yet ambitious motive, and I reached forth.  Everything that surrounded us shifted to a blur, but you became clear.  I could see, but could not realize my own distress.  It was in that moment that I became draped in the morning light, and was no longer asleep.  However, the dark of the fleeting night followed me for quite some time.

It was uneasy, dismal, and almost nausiating to be alive following that night.  It revealed to me, a viel.  One that would hide a world beyond my creation.  Perhaps it is best that I abandon destiny…

  The poison was spreading throughout my body, and I indulged in warmth.  I sank into the light and inhaled a breeze, but like a lapse in time, the breeze was gone, and it became cold.  I sought solice in you, and evacuated like many times before.  We began to think as one and occupy the same eyes.  I could still see light from a distance, but what you saw was much closer.  You saw the oppurtunity to survive, and we watched the world revolve.  The seasons changed often, proving that nothing is perminant.  We’ve left pieces of ourselves along the way, but the Universe will take them eventually.  You’ve convinced me to understand the obscure. 

It is uneasy, dismal, and almost nausiating to be alive in this world.  To watch people turn to monsters before my eyes.  Their bloodlust is unquenchable. 

I stayed on their terms, and there’s still no sign of you along the way.  I compromised my dreams, and considered things to replace my memory.  It’s significance is reluctantly removed from my consiousness.  Through a vast wasteland I walk amongst you, but cannot feel.  My knuckles crack beneath the dry spell of the Sun.  I unwillingly trudge foward with my head hung low, still no sign along the way.  Then, like a division of worlds my eyes pry open, my head slighlty ascends and I look beyond myself.  The dust infiltrates my vision, and my skin cracks beneath the dry spell of the Sun. 

I had a dream.  A dream that was vivid enough to perpetuate lucidity.  It revealed a viel which hides a world beyond this one.  This one full of uneasy, dismal, and almost nausiating beasts that were once human.  You have persuaded me to understand the obscure. 

Perhaps it is best that I abandon destiny…

East Elizabeth And Fennel

     There is a house in the heart of Skaneateles. The house has seen better days. Especially since the outbreak. In fact the whole town has seen better days. One beautiful houses are now to the point of falling down. Stores have been broken into and cleaned out. Restaurants have been broken into by desperate people trying to survive. A once clean lake is now murky and smells of sulfur. On the edge of the lake lives a family. This particular family refused to leave their house. This house had been in their family for a while now and they weren’t leaving it now. In this house was a husband and wife and their son.

B-easter

Joseph gathered up his followers and joined forces with a dozen or so pagans and the fortieth squad of Corpse Corps. They headed out for the hill by the water tower at Thornden Park. It had always been one of his favorite spots in Syracuse.

Never before had a mass been delivered so quietly or so well armed.

They stood at sunrise, facing east, and Joseph delivered an Easter prayer that he remembered from the Internet back when it existed.

In his basso profundo voice, he rumbled

God our Father,
by raising Christ your Son
you conquered the power of death
and opened for us the way to eternal life.
Let our celebration today raise us up
and renew our lives by the Spirit that is within us….

And somebody, subconsciously sensing the pollen bursting forth on the spring breeze, trying in vain to resist as Persephone tickled her nose, sneezed as the sun burst over University Hill.

They heard the moan immediately. The crocuses were not the only thing springing forth from the matted grass.

They never returned to Hancock.

It’s not known whether or not Father Joseph survived long enough to perform last rites. If international mail service ever begins again, he will be nominated for beatification.

Parasite

The blood glistens in the sun, flowing like water from my brain onto the soil.  Without restraint, the seeds of the future drown themselves beneath my carnage.  My skin peels at the hands of my maker, and my body decomposes like a corpse left in the heat.  It was fate that brought me here, but destiny refuses me an angel…. 
Suddenly, the light subsides and transpires into twilight.  That is where I stand, creating a shadow from the moon’s glow.  My own blood spills at my feet, which surrender to nature and force me to my knees.  It is now that even the moonlight is dim.  My eyes dissapear into oblivion, and the dark invades the host.  It is now that the inspiration envelops a consciousness, but it couldn’t be mine.  My thoughts are torn and withered like the body that lies in my blood.  But might it be mine?  Perhaps it was mine all along.  It becomes clear,  despite the feeding parasite.  I know the way… but I am unsure of the path. 

Retreat from Yonkers comic sneak peak

This is a “comic” I’m putting together about the Retreat from Yonkers. It isn’t done, I haven’t added words and there are duplicates of the same frame as I have yet to choose the right one for each frame, but here is a peak at my progress so far.
