Words of the Constant
The outcome is as unpredictable as life itself.
It wants something first... something shiny.
What a pretty button.
Can I... help set up the carnival?
It wants something first... something shiny.
I think... I'd like to try to play...
It's a little door.
They were created only to suffer.
Can I... help set up the carnival?
It wants something first... something shiny.
Oh... I think I'm doing... well?
Won't you play with me, Abigail?
A murder has flown in.
It gleams in the light.
How do you do, Mr. Raven?
Abigail thinks it needs some decorations around it.
The ravens seem quite drawn to the decorations.
It does look quite pretty, doesn't it?
Perhaps I might enjoy its shade one day.
Maybe I'll just take a peek...
I wonder what kind of prizes they have...
I... won something?
M-maybe I'll take a look at the prizes...!
I've collected quite a few now.
It tastes like disappointment.
I wish you could try it on Abigail, I think it would suit you.
I find a curious comfort in the sound of dead, rustling leaves.
Perhaps I could join the ravens and fly far, far away...
Pretty. If it was smaller I'd wear it around my neck.
...Perhaps not.
Perhaps I could make something nice.
It is no more.
I despise how it skitters...
Freedom is not for you.
It is arrested by deepest sleep.
It's merely a shade.
It's a carrot.
It's a carrot that's gone through a gauntlet of fire.
A clump of giant, gnarled roots for eating.
It's a carrot that's in the ground.
It's a plant that's waiting to be.
Well, old maps always do look burnt at the edges...
No more mapmaking, then.
Maps are best with monsters drawn on the borders.
I wonder if it had a twin, too.
All cats must die.
I could curl up and die in there.
Nothing like the stench of death on your head.
The wheel is come full circle.
Call me Sisyphus.
