	I dreamt a world without night and seas as clear as glass a crystal world where all was warm and all was full of light I woke in search of such a place where warmth and light reside I came to the abyss a labyrinth of nightmares at the center a cold dark fire a black mass of death whimpering, pleading all of it, useless helpless, I found myself dismantled and unformed thoughts unspooled and dreams dissolved all absorbed, became nothing become nothing "The light at the center is a myth. The light at the end is a lie."

about

“In the beginning, the world was formless and void and so shall it be in the end.”

I dreamt a world without night and seas as clear as glass. A shimmering, crystal world where all was warm and full of light. Everything held the promise of glory and forever.

I woke and went in search of such a world. It brought me to the abyss. Deep into a labyrinth of nightmares. Each footfall a death knell echoing along the walls. Fumbling towards the center of it all.

At the center was a cold dark fire. No warmth. No light. Only an endless black burn. A tabernacle for The Black Mass of Death, beckoning all life to be brought into its fold.

Helpless and prostrate, I was dismantled and unformed. Liquefied flesh. Crumbling bone. Every organ fed to the fire. Thoughts unspooled like milky-white thread. Memory and dream dissolved in a sea of forgetfulness. Consciousness obliterated. All of it surrendered and absorbed.

“The warmth at the center is a myth. The light at the end is a lie.”
