Words of the Constant
A redbird feather, red like blood.
A snowbird feather, white like the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nothing shocks me anymore.
Something died for this.
I wonder what she did.
Sort of like an emotional barrier. But wood.
Will it keep others in, or out?
We could use it to build a gate.
We could use it to build a fence.
A bucket of grime.
It needs only a light.
A tiny brightness in the dark.
Tiny lights, stranded from the world outside my pocket.
His disposition is fiery.
Don't give up, little flame!
A flame to keep the horrors at bay.
This fire burns with passion!
It's losing the will to go on.
It's a comfort.
I'd better relight this.
Death from above!
That can't be good.
I could set the world on fire!
It's running on fumes.
Quiet as a corpse.
I don't know why you bother. We're all going to burn.
It was flopping around desperately for life. The poor fool.
A pitiful creature.
Rest now, fish spirit.
The stripes symbolize its emotional imprisonment.
Don't lose your head.
It misses its watery home.
I've... eaten worse...
With this, I can yank the fishies out of their precious safe pond.
The meat swims round and round. Oblivious.
Perfectly molded blocks of fish.
I hope I got all the bones out.
A proper grilling puts a stop to the flopping.
They shall never taste freedom.
Life can't come from nothing... I need something...
Look, Abby. We have a visitor.
Do they know I'm watching?
Life needs time to blossom.
Abby... There's more now...
It has shed its earthly tether.
A proper grilling puts a stop to the flopping.
It's been decapitated.
There are other fish in the sea. Bigger ones, hopefully.
It will... tide... me over for now.
It's hot!
