For the last couple of weeks, Life has been fairly bendy, in a way my life doesn’t generally tend to be. It has it’s moments of bendiness of course, but this round of bendiness has been weirdly different and a bit more extreme it in polar opposites.

Last night the World become very bendy and as a result Life took a lot of careful planning and concentration. Which is fine and dandy when there’s daylight.

But then the sun disappeared over the horizon.

Life and the World stopped being bendy at that point, and become very dark. Darker then the World would normally do just because the earth has shifted around to allow the sun to shine on the other side of the world.

A black, mangy mutt I thought I’d gotten shot of years ago came sniffing back, and made a point of following me through my night-time thoughts. It brought with it a whole host of other Demons and Compulsions I also thought I’d seen off for good.

I clung on to what I know to be sensible and did my best not to hear their collective mutterings about what I really should be doing right now.

But they’re still all there. The sanest part of me is avoiding any sharp objects such as knives, blades from razors & pencil sharpeners, scissors, or any lighters or matches; you wouldn’t be best pleased to hear what I need them for.

Dammit, they are already around me. This is going to be difficult, but I’ll get through it.
