Boo! ]] [[>]] [[module Rate]] [[/>]] [[=]] When I was born, I screamed. And my mother proclaimed it the best sound ever uttered by any being A thrill of terror Echoing stereoscopic 3D howling to the void in sheer horror and joy at my own existence The sphere rotating forever in and of itself Because itself And the heavens screamed with me. And I sat and rejoiced in it Like the roller coaster lifting up and swooping around and around the bend And the fly of cotton candy and popcorn following the cars' wake The thrill of pleasureterror filled every atom of my body and the void Howling to the void Like a billion bubble machine As I grew up, I traveled the cosmos seeking fear. Seeking to inspire it and fill others with what had filled me A wild thing I was Proud and strong Until one day I found a place And that place was everything at once happening all at once, I extruded my body to greet each and every place within that place. I became a part of the fabric, part of everything's soul. And when I was there again, many times older than before, I found so much of it Raw and animal Patterns screaming to the void like I had once done. Then the priestess Shamhat found me there at the Drive-In Theatre. And she opened her legs to me and I found myself drawn towards some unknowable thing Some horrible end. We made love together without stopping for six days and seven nights And at the end of it I found I was not the thing I had been before And I was afraid of it Then the hero Beowulf found me sitting there Naked and covered from top to bottom in popcorn and my own ejaculate And he slew me with his red convertible Chevy. He slew me over and over again. Crushing me beneath his tires. And, dying I slunk back to my mother And together we made love under the black moon While she nursed my wounds and I lay dying And I was afraid of it. And I faced off against Diomedes on the battlefields of Ilium He came at me with his pistols and his motorcycle An unstoppable foe unable to face inertia's golden truth, Brandishing a spear topped with a canister of 35-millimeter film Driving me back to the boats with my wounds still aching Where the lizards would stop moving And the spaceships wouldn't land And I was afraid It was the greatest thing to ever happen to me. The movie was over. And the freeze came tumbling in and further inwards to contain me. I had been contained after thousands of cycles alone here, and alone everywhere else at once. I was adrift in the void that once nourished me Cold and empty. Ready for the next bit of Smell-O-Vision or paper skeleton flying over the audience to lure me to my seats. The next screening This is the truth of my existence. I am part of everything that can ever walk and talk and breathe and think and run away and fuck and eat and sleep and dream terrible dreams Waking up with their heart pounding And deep down enjoying it. Nobody can ever stop me. But in that place I fell through the cinema until all I had was my quest and no way to understand it. No way to know. Basking in the thrill of not knowing Imprisoned With the thrill of being lost Loving this paranoia within myself This unknown angle This terrible end. Howling to the void Content to change shape Part of what makes us whole [[[SCP-2006|In fear]]] Boo.
