Worlds out of phase, passing through moments like walking between the raindrops. Each step a rotation through spacetime, winding forward and backwards like magnetic tape. A wrong step into another dimension, another universe, seamless and a-logical like a dream. Reality as we know it as thin and sharp as a razor's edge, or the needle of a drawing compass.
Imagine like Kokkoku except instead of being stuck in a single moment in time, they slide through moments in time or even other dimensions or universes, out of phase with the rest of reality as we know it.
Always right beside us, yet out of reach. Knock-on effects bottlenecked by three dimensions. A disturbed nexus, an interface, reverberations from unknowable origins.
Splicing frames of reality with each step, a wrong right turn intractably alters the source- there is only forward here.
You're on a roll with this short form stuff. Hope that personality-biotech stuff we were discussing on the discord server makes it into a post too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, ya I'm feeling it as well, and it helps that I don't have the time / mental energy for longer form at the moment anyway haha. I was thinking of posting that one too, will possibly be my next post unless something comes up before then.
DeleteAwesome little fragment! I will have to follow up on Kokkoku!
ReplyDeleteI first learned about it from this post by Patrick Stuart: http://falsemachine.blogspot.com/2021/04/weebery-three-he-he-heee.html
DeleteIt was pretty good, definitely unique, I enjoyed it.
I like how you developed this! It's reminding me of the Infinite Corridor from the Castlevania show
ReplyDeleteOoh interesting I hadn't consciously intended that but it definitely makes sense!
