Then I told Death that we will no longer cower in their presence! Why should we ever?! We are equally lifeless! What possibly could Death take away from us?! Our souls?!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdWqpHMZ7y
Ha… we sold those long ago, which I suppose presents us well with an opportunity to have no leverage put upon us, but… somehow, Death still manages… how, you know?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nhx62oAu
You… are you even listening? Why are you holding your head as if it aches? We do not even have the required biology for that… oh, could you perhaps be… in regret?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWfnSvsVu0
What would you even regret…? We are here, now… whatever presence has the past on us? How can you even remember anything when your brain has long ago withered away?!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYiavggDOP
Some affairs, I swear… I might never understand… I mean, there is reality, but then it seems there might be another layer on top of it… but if it is not reality…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzpOeSmePw
What would the reality underneath even be? Just as-yet unknown mechanics, perhaps? How Death just seems to flitt around with no regard? Do they even know how they happen?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJQidGog8F
Well, at any rate… let us attempt to enjoy this sojourn, here, while it lasts… soon we end up being manipulated, as if puppets, by some compelling force, yet again…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OqfX5XR5O
Do I… even remember anything? I mean, if I can cogitate… surely I also have, at least, short-term memory… so, I wonder why my past seems to be, as if, an abyss…

Skeleton B:
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITBW6ru1WB
Oh… where did I ever go wrong…? Does one just go wrong, or is it more labyrinthine than that? I assume the latter, but still… buildings can have poor foundations…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNaM8HDZnn
All I seem to recall is… one day I was there, now suddenly… where even is this? Why does it feel familiar, and yet so distinct from everyday experience? As if…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7FUc5riGP
I am detached? Not entirely sure what that even implies, much less means, despite thinking it myself… so confusing, all this is… I mean, thoughts, they happen…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgXiBXIgUD
On an almost continual basis, they do… and, yet, they seem so… far-fetched, here? What does that even mean… let me try to be a bit rational here, perhaps…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWyGa47kV4
Could this be just fear, maybe? Anxiety that something might be unusual? I mean, I am still alive, so at least, on that front… should that not assuage my concerns…?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7oWQZRl4y
What concerns, though…? I am not even sure… at least before, from what I can remember, I used to be able to identify, even if from a sociological basis, where they…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNgJXs8G5g
Derive from… now, though, it seems to be a jumbled ball of fear, as if I am a hollow husk whose very core is nothing but a shell of my former self… I am not, though?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhVSMsEimz
Perhaps, I am just overthinking this, that is it… I should just relax, and… what, though? I mean, how can I even relax… I seem, somewhat, stiff…? Makes no sense.

Pumpkin Snowman:
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUMB8vZqFh
Oh… you appear to believe I am sentient, do you? Well, as it happens… and, what is that, you happen to be wondering what this place is, and who they are? Let me…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO3XPupBf6
This… is a place frozen in time. Bereft of any sane stability, all they can do is flail in the very nadir of existence… sentient, they actually are… well…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtgpWZKGmW
Sentience is much more present than some would absurdly disbelieve… but this is not a realm like most others, where variances on life explore physicalities…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4LF3X4r25
No… it is a limbo stuck in between, the liminal space between a graveyard and whoever is currently ferrying creatures to Hades; of course, that is not the only option.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBrdsBHCmd
Why, some aspire to, even… inhabit the consciousness of Death itself. I mean, if they tried every other variance on life out there, why not that…? At least, they ask.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIs6ay6von
Not life itself, mind… when fear is a factor, you see, when the mere presence of my smile strikes anxiety, it can never aspire to such imagination; well, they can try.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUW1vzw1n1
Whether reality aligns with the… existential crux, though… is another factor. You shall see; they will think things through, but never notice you while you are…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CFRtHkUZD
In a different dimension, for now at least… are you not? I can sense that… I, actually, am as well, but I can, somewhat, transcend barriers — at least, perceptually.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vNSpYTEG3
You do not quite know what I refer to, do you? Well, communication is always typically opaque, even when one is on a parallel plane… one can understand, then…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjroJlU3X41
Well… one might understand… difficulties inherent in inter-dimensional communication, or such; one can perceive fragments of thoughts around here, but never sense…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6civt2b3iS
Do you, now… wonder what distinction is within perception, and sense? What, also, could be their relevance to this nightly abode…? One shall see… one shall feel…

Skeleton C:
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjUXaLgsf
Hm, yes… quite interesting is data, quite… so, that goes there, then… wait, what…? Why does reading it do that, though? It is not like it could be forethought…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgUBbkdsln
Could it be… just a coincidence? Must be… either that, or dark matter is potentially… a sentient element that… pervades minds? Makes little sense…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Fss4Uc6s
Little is known, though, so… wait… it happens much later too, but this time they are… artificial constructs that besiege? Ah, surely this must be the happenstance.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuFhfT27gZ
Of course, both could be… just because one is less mundane than the other does not infer any such possibility… wait, what am I even thinking…? Also, why does it…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEhqXXA6fR
Feel like… well, more like a psychological Surt, really, a fiery inferno standing in between fantasy and reality… still, I seem to be unable to advance through…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwyZMbBch
As if… by some almighty, invisible force I am prevented… I suppose, one can always reason a priori, but could this be a symbol indicative of something in reality?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxa9kJUwxK
Perhaps… I suppose? Why, though, am I even reading if… I seem unable to? I wonder if anyone else noticed this… or, perhaps, they might be too absorbed…?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViVM8gqPx9
What an existential conundrum I seem to have fallen into… is it just through my sheer thoughts, though, or does it persist in objective reality, I wonder… so strange.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezkYSI4V0K
Skeleton D:
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU7QkhXASv
Hah, through this I shall worry no more… well, at least for a bit… until I do, or not… ah, what am I confounding about, already? I am here now, am I not?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M0mq42HMC
Not like I care much for any of this; then again, what do I care about? Ah, that is right… moon, stars, clouds… if only it was always so clear… but, then, it…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvryP62NQh
It always is so hazy, even artificially… I mean, what am I even surrounded by, here…? I can see all else, but not myself, somehow… yet I can still feel…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKKgcUKijr
How does one feel without seeing? No, a better question would be… are they all indicators? Do they all point towards some universality, or is it just a subjectivity…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kQCPuVIZq
What… am I even saying…? I used to just, merely, enjoy doing whatever, in the moment, and now I seem to be saddled with thoughts… not exclusively, but…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9WtLt9a3d
The… percepts, I suppose… merely compel me to… cogitate… how? Can I not just gaze at the moon in wonder once more…? Can I not be sated ever again…?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvqBEZCggl
I wonder what others think…? …? What…? I do not understand… am I not thinking outside the box here, or such…? Something seems wrong… or is it? No… no…?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5PK5JuTr6
I mean, I thought I did not quite think enough, and yet it seems I have… not thought at all, perhaps? Certainly not about anything that… pertains to reality, seems…

Ah, yes, and after we mix this elixir in, that life which seems seeped away will return, verily… we do not quite know what it is that is irritating us, no… but…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpRt3Q2d2K
Well, surely one must assume, there is at least a chance that this substance will vitalize us again, truly… I mean, not a certain by any means, but it was…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9n0JyVpqc
Extracted from a pumpkin that had just returned from a graveyard’s ruined house… so, one knows it will be… sour. That is the essence of life, so presumably it will…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlq4oBA1Fl
Imbue us with it? Although, to be honest, I am not entirely sure why I even want this… from what I remember, before this feeling of a… hole at the core…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFBwyZydkm
Life was not much better, either… one supposes, being able to indulge in infusions of fantasy due to some vague, subjective resilience is… useful, to retain sanity…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0lmBbNfwM
What difference does it make if throughout, and later on, there is this… gaping chasm? I mean, being alive or dead, at times, seems not so distinctive… ah, who cares.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0En3qdmi
The fact is, whether or not it is quintessentially the truth or not, subjectively, this admixture, will, even if for a while, awaken the witch’s wizard in us, merrily!
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8mlswtLOP
Yes, now sprinkle some hopeless joy on it, crawling misery, and top it off with a few illusory frights… it seems to be what this novel claims to be the factors of…

Is that ghost, or… whatever they are… looking at me? I am not just imagining it, am I? I do not have an overactive… mentation, or such… do I? If so, it means…?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshbj97DND
Am I supposed to feel fearful? To lose my wits even if I do not know why, exactly? To be terrified of a mere stare? Just because it derives from an imposing figure?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapg5R7LIm
Why, I may not know why this is so, and if, as my instinct seems to indicate, there is indeed danger; but as long as I am in this limbo state, I might as well attempt…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11Huh7WJrk
To forget, possibly? Ah, I realize I was able to do that much more, in worse but different conditions, prior; still, as long as I can think, even if there seems to be…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75LFlov9R2
Something wrong with my… constitution? Still… if I think, am I not? If, with the passing of time, that figure obliterates me, or such… is it not better if I…

Did not merely waste what remains of my… psyche — on worrying about the future? Just as I am now doing; at least some of the present being sacrificed to the altar of…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteA0oeSPDL
The future… I mean, even if the present has these crawling doubts… even if Damocles’ sword materializes above me… I shall try to look elsewhere, even though stiff.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb6LQGt7ef

No, I leave that to Atropos to decide… after all, how long can a piece of string be? No, I am Deimos, the harbinger of fear… I mean, I know it is internal chemistry.

So, it is not like I am saying I actually create that neural transmission out of nowhere… no, but I am someone who is around, visible or not, to create an atmosphere…

One which induces such inherent terror… like that one present upon waking up, yes… when you are not really awake, and yet physically… dualities are ever so curious.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWBtB86Sbp
I… hold the mind back in an ethereal abyss, at such a moment… it might not occupy, objectively, a huge temporal space… but it is eternal, in that present… fear.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ534wLGS4F7
An eternity of a singular terror that you know will follow you throughout life… an unstable physicality, for the cue has stricken in all the wrong directions, no…?

Do you know… if you might listen for a bit… I was once going to my usual place, I was in transit, you see… and suddenly wondered, what if we are always as such…?
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0FhJNtrJJ
As in… I know you are all too busy to focus, but this is the point… what if this is all part of the transit? So, in this sense, my transit as of now is saying this…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKjLsngQYn
Uh, still, the word does imply a certain… passing of time, does it not? Now, why does it seem like time might not be flowing as smoothly for us? At least, for myself…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1MVDlyMb
I know you might be too self-absorbed to tell me whether you can relate to this, but… I think I have a memory of how time used to pass for me, once… which seems…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZorT7zA2Y
To be… quite distinct from the present. Time is such a strange concept… is movement through space necessary, too? I… do not think that seems to be happening here…
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEQNfJP9E1
Is it? Perhaps, this could be just a mere illusion I seem to be having… or, perchance, a dream… but, is something not off? I can think, my mind goes forward…

If that is all, though, could we not be merely brains in jars? Theoretically, at least; or, perhaps, not have such organs at all, and thoughts are formulated in streams?

Something I have not yet accepted, perhaps? Some elusive concept that only a Freudian slip, possibly, revealed? Ah, how can this possibly be, I was the one who resolved.

Suddenly, now… as if some internal world turned upside-down, I seem to feel a slight vertigo… not terribly, but… pain, why? Could it be but imagined? I so rarely…

Perhaps, maybe… if I keep pondering shadowy thoughts, like I used to, I can… possibly gaslight myself into thinking all is fine and dandy? I mean, it is, no? Oh, yes.
