Evergreen Gothic

the hour of speedy is upon us.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

Every night a different retired speedy appears to you in your dreams. He begs to be released. Pleads with you to help him return to the mortal world. You wake up in a cold sweat.

You notice handprints at the bottom of the Experimental Theatre doors, as if something is trying to get out. You walk a little faster in the Com now.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

The deer are playing tetherball.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

Do not blame the Com ghosts for the folley of man.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

They tried to remove the hotspot... but nay... a successor emerges...

There are lights above the field that appear to be hovering. At first glance it almost feels like the tennis courts. Then they blink.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

The deer don’t care.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

How long have you really been in the greenery?

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

You’re alone in your room watching the clock slowly count down. It reached midnight and you hear your roommate say “Happy New Year!” You’re alone. Didn’t your roommate leave for vacation? You hold yourself tighter and murmur softly, “Yes... happy new year...”

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

The planets have aligned, the moon is full, and the wind has calmed..... the market place is open.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

You cross the field, thinking it will be faster. You don’t seem to be any nearer to the end. You look back and notice you cannot see the HCC anymore. You look forward again and the CRC is still far away. Where are you?

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

The deer talk about you.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

You try to open the door to a piano practice room. It opens a little but something is blocking it. You press harder and something growls on the inside. You mutter an apology and close the door. A moment later you hear the piano being played.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

You step up to put your dirty dishes on the carrousel at the greenery. You wait for an empty tray but there is none. You notice that there are more and more dishes. Where are they coming from?

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

As the fog sets in, so do They.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

You order a latte from Einstein’s. They tell you, “I’m sorry we cannot serve hot drinks.”
You ask for an ice latte instead.
They blink. “I’m sorry we cannot serve hot drinks.”

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

fools.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

Field Closed: the sign reads. The rocks appeared some days ago but no one knows where they came from. We can only ponder, ask the old gods, hope.

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! It was the beginning of a sordid deal with the powers that be. To tell you all of coming doom, of the harbingers of turmoil that lurk. To warn you. To teach you. #MyTwitterAnniversary

[Evergreen Gothic @EvergreenGothic]

Who is Michael Horse? They ask. Who is Michael Horse? What is Michael Horse?
