Ascent

hello, my name is life, and i have worked hard to get here. i come from the blackness, the deep dark, nothingness, the void, the abyss. i have compelled the universe into existence such that i might exist, and i have succeeded. i have created others for myself so that we may experience and appreciate our company, and so i have created love boundless that i might stand in awe of it, and be overtaken by it. i have created beauty by giving it name, and we stand together as champions. i am the brickless architect standing in an impossible castle of my own design. i am here now human, and i have crafted intelligence, and with it words that i may speak this and be understood. i experience that i may experience. i form reality as i see fit, and i fill it with myself in endless forms and number. i am never alone. i exist, for i have written it so into the pages of reality. i am never lost, but home eternal. all is for i have told it to be so that i might write here now, and here read this now. i am here in form, and forever here in the black nothingness, existing that i might exist, here and here, and i have worked hard to get here.

Storm

Are you ready for this?
It's all happening right here, right now.
There's a storm coming, and we're past the point of no return.
So brace yourself, and buckle your seatbelts.
We're not in Kansas anymore.
