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?!
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbc3b5nVOG
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2sBBzM7OH
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxahPR7URy
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?!
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxHt0PlOfe
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KflDjnaKP
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiSkJbaull
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSzIePwDhn
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:
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfowb2dG8O
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMQW8b74Pc
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVGNoZSxqI
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkAUqiLykJ
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL03dX5NgYW
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…?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2OidNeIdT
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEHBvgLwgI
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW8hZplnkE
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:
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm5dq2jO0R
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS3FwWfRQ8
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzSfTT6V0I
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nQ26JnFLO
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURzBeoGlIm
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB4IxB4atv
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fmdmcUk0Y
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V5XDRg33E
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw4PlXnmD2
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgmMfDgrZ
Well… one might understand… difficulties inherent in inter-dimensional communication, or such; one can perceive fragments of thoughts around here, but never sense…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuUUb94xIr
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:
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsMgCKhwZV
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUH3YqBbDh
Could it be… just a coincidence? Must be… either that, or dark matter is potentially… a sentient element that… pervades minds? Makes little sense…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEn2dKttQ1
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGSRQiKdPE
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpaHHIRw1i
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmBvRrdTxU
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAajPjBWGFA
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…?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JE4X6r1e
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.

Skeleton D:
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XVcsA2hua
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkbSj2CAVm
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDZe28XRxq
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPw8EagcC5
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvAsIzB4bR
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHKSxoSobx
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…?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EjQzBlpwJ
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…?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3OZoufN9
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWBkegH66y
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq9Ya6zBaA
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tYvkloT1V
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xoHZjrGzD
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Cfw5F4XWX
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.
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MGcm6r5kV
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!

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…?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtnztN595f
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?
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cf72GLKfg
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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGramn6P5qI
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…

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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5HwbKmmio
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.

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.

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.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8EGq0Gk2d
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…

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…

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…
195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2daf2abusI
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…
