CONTINUANCE
Liquid Time
“My past is everything I failed to be.” ~ Fernando Pessoa
Z writhed through bouts of slaughter.
An eternal splintering of that moment(s).
Here, the push. The electricized rail. The train.
Here, the backhand. The kick. The stairway. The neck.
Here, the rifle. The scope. The contract. The hit.
Here, the airlock. The depressurizing. The ejections.
Here, the bolt, the honed Bowie, the smile.
The neck. The liver. The heart
The blood. The blood. The bisection.
Trespassing under sea, through the stars, across the multiverse, homes, hovels, a maze of mazes.
Never ending.
There was no end.
Z slayed everywhere.
It was too much.
It was too much.
It was, too much.
TRANSITION
Ad infinitum.

Z’s hands dripped red.
Z became another moment.
Z’s eyes closed, teeth clenched, long exhalation.
Z collapsed into Fetal Prime.
This is the day Z doesn’t die

Wow- you are really getting psyched by the mass shootings going on!

I have been, but the mass slaughter wasn’t on my mind while I wrote this. Possibly squirreled down there, but I was already getting the basis of D and E set up.
Thanks, Roy

Crikey Stu, talk about upping the anti early on! I’m agog as to where you’re going next. Fortunately I’m behind, so have more chapters to read RIGHT NOW 🙂

I know I was letting things “float” in the first two. Something had to happen. It did.
Will it have ramifications later on?
