endlessforms

dreamworld photographer

  • it, she, they

and the mirror
not her waking,
aching body showed,
but endless forms,
from feathered fractal
edges spilling out
a snowstorm
swirling silent
in her eyes

in reply to @endlessforms's post:

annihilation was a source of inspiration for this story (as well as a hypnogogic hallucination we had once)

we often describe it to others as "hot in the way annihilation is hot"

edit: we thought your comment was on a different post ("the tower") and weren't paying attention whoops, the inspiration for this post is quite different

it's safe to say honestly that the southern reach trilogy is a big inspiration for most of our writing, often in indirect/stylistic/thematic ways

those books do a evocative job exploring and depicting altered states of mind, irrational thoughts, hallucinations and dreams, identity alteration, and the tantalizing and mind-consuming nature of the nonhuman world,

all of which are recurring themes in our writing

this one, "the walls", is inspired by a recurring hallucination/perceptual distortion we sometimes experience, where it looks like walls and similar surfaces are breathing verry subtly

but sometimes they stop mid-breath, and it makes us on edge
