For Whom the Whistle Blows
You awake alone on a train with trees drifting slowly by outside. You sit in the window seat, in the first row, facing forward. Looking behind yourself, you see that every seat stretching back to the door is empty, light that does not shine glittering in the eyes of people who are not there.

(In)Coherence: The Halls
There it sits on an ornate mahogany reading table, a small composition journal. It bears neither title nor author, but it calls to me. It feels like I have been looking for it.

Stay Awake, Stay Alive
I’ve been awake now for 48 hours and I know I won’t be able to stay this way for much longer. Who wants to die at 31—I know I don’t, but I’ll have to sleep sometime. Maybe the end will be painless, however judging by what I’ve observed, it will be anything but. This all started innocently enough.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Streaming services these days are ubiquitous. Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney Plus, Prime Video—the list just goes on and on.
