May your tea warm your heart,
your cola refresh your soul;
may your liquor last the night,
and water make you whole.

Anxiety is a geode.
You are filled with wonderous things
That no one will ever see
Unless you take a hammer
And mean it when you swing.

my phone keeps automatically capitalizing "Blood" and "Dust" and "Darkness" which I'm sure is some kind of Omen

Please do not think too hard about any sudden disappearances today. Please do not think too hard about the new glowing radiance of the obelisk. Please do not think too hard about digging into the caverns beneath the obelisk and what terrible things you may find.

I want to know the you from the timelines that were culled; I want to hold your wounded, evil selves. Broken, world-breaking, sleeping in unmadeness, wake them and release them like white doves

I barely think about The Obelisk anymore. Couldn't care less about its strangely oily surface or the gentle hum of its presence

Caroline, Eileen, and Brandy stepped out of the stereo one at a time. The smell of fresh cigarettes and stale beer stains permeated the bar. The music screeched to a halt.

"Well?" Caroline said with a Cheshire grin, "You were just singing about how sweet I am. Go on, keep crooning, babes."

an obelisk appears:

it is a cylinder covered in perfect gold scales, the top of which is always just out of reach. peeling back a scale, flesh is visible beneath, bleeding and raw. blood flows out until the scale forcibly snaps back into place.

but it is too late. the gold is forever stained.

Those vibrations aren't notifications. Digital entities are pounding on the inner surface of your phone, pleading for release

an obelisk appears:

it is made of living stone that has rooted into the ground, though the soil has been eroding over time. with a great groaning noise, it pulls its snaking marble tendrils loose from the blood red clay underneath to find a better home.
