Aítion
Lore
ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A LIFE.
They were not - so vast as we - yet they lived
an existence far less debatable = than that of quavering atoms
Consider this - our cognatum - Theia
/You have heard this name before. The memory dissipates on solar wind./
DAY BY DAY, THEY CAROMED GAILY THROUGH THE COSMOLOGIC STREAM.
unbound by stellar gravity = caged by pitiable minds
EACH THOUGHT THE HERCULEAN EFFORT OF A MILLENNIUM. SEE NOW THE VAST SPAN OF ITS LIFE.
So Theia lived - until misfortune - led it here - caught - by my gravities
mutual attraction = utter annihilation
Those microscopic specks - ants crawling - in eaten-rotten eye sockets
helpless = stupid = blind
BUT FOR THEIA, A SCREAM LASTING A THOUSAND YEARS. A STRUGGLE AGAINST A THOUSAND CLINGING TENDRILS.
until at last = a fated meeting = with dearest III
agony shearing crashing tearing, part of my self my thoughts my life, torn away, floating brain-dead in my sky
Theia's foolish parasite-components - unaware - to the last
THAT GREAT STONE-HEWN FORM—THAT EON-ENDURING MIND—GONE, IN ONE RED-MEAT PUMP OF STICKY NOXIOUS FLUID.
each life snuffed = a thought scattered = awareness chipped away
A mere moment - in your limited perception - but for one of us - a dying cry - stretching – forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
the curse of our existence: past is present is future, pain never to fade into memory. can you imagine?
no need to imagine = when it can feel
/You stretch like taffy. Look, see, Nasya, you know the dough is ready when you can read a label through it. You watch the galaxy pinwheel through the windowpane of your mind. You watch your doom approach for four hundred years in the span of a moment. You claw at neon bars./
nascent awareness oscillating oozing = it won't calm down
I told you - this story - was a bad idea
.now just what have you bu|nch done to it this time
