It’s dark in here… and so quiet… I am not quite sure where I am but it doesn’t feel good. Not that I am afraid of dark, har-har-har! Har-har-har. Har…

Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeh, why I am here? What have I done? OK, you could point that I am a monster, but so what? Am I scary? Am I ugly? Do I smell? Not really!

Still, this darkness is making me nervous… Not good. Not good at all. What was that? Did you hear it? You think, there are people here, in the  dark? I think so too!

Damn, this is not good at all… I want to get out of here!!!!!

Artifact

At first, we couldn’t see what it was. I mean, with all this damn fog you couldn’t see much at all…

But, as we got closer, what was just a dark blurry form started to take shape. Still, it took us forever to get close enough to appreciate the thing for real.

God, was it old! There was some extensive natural damage, whole parts of the structure missing here and there. One side looked like it had been chewed on by some huge mechanical creature, tooth marks still clearly visible after all these years. And yet… it was unmistakably impressive.

It was what we were looking for all along. It was The Relic.

It’s just not fair!

I always bring her flowers yet she never notice me. Why is that, I don’t know. I mean there is nothing wrong with me, really, don’t you agree?

So the whole situation is a mystery for me and, I fear, I cannot go on like this for much longer.

Should I move on?

I do not know yet, but this relationship is not progressing the way I hoped it would. What I am to do?

Fantasy fog

When darkness falls, we hardly ever notice – we just carry on going in circles. That’s all we do, nothing else…

There is nothing else we can possibly do, you see. Everything is always covered by fog, so we never know where we are, where we are going or if we have been here before.

It’s all because of this damn fog…

They say there are places with clear sky and they say that the sky is actually blue and there is no fog or anything like that but… we have never been able to find any of these places. It is not like we are not looking, we just seem to keep going in circles!

Damn this fog!!!
