Who is Who

Eating glass in the trunk of a car. There are millions of us here. “It’s not bad, if you eat small enough pieces. Slow enough” “Can taste the flavors, the differences between one piece and another.” She bears the pain, in a Poe sense. Arising from her desires. For some reason she has a clock. “Your predecessor wasted too much of my time. Took too long.” Not like Lovecraft, uncovering something going on in the world. In the trunk, those who starve, believe there are forces at work. Alien gods. Alien corruption. Alien aliases for the very real. “People don’t change into something they’re already not,” Kellerman.  “And they don’t discover what they don’t already believe,” she said, hungry. -Beatrice.
