Prompt: Row Row Row...
Dr. Burke T. Salizar: ‘Tell me about the voices.’
Derrick B. Fey: Not voices.
‘Are they more then that?’
They’re...yes.
‘How much more?’
More. They’re-...There’s no word. There is no word.
‘Well, what do they say?’
“What are you waiting for?”
‘...and what does that mean?’
Oh, no. No idea. I’m crazy.
‘Do they say anything else?’
My name. Sometimes they sing.
'Really. Anything I’d know?'
Just, ...'aAHhaooohmaAHhaooohm-'
'That’s-, ok, thank you.’
They sound deep. Like power.
'Power? Could you elaborate?’
‘No I don't understand your hand motions. You can’t tell me?’
‘Alright. What can you tell me?’
They've gotten louder. But since yesterday, silence.
"Oh? That's good. So you don't hear them right now?’
No. Oh. Wait.
‘Derrick?’
Yes, there. There’s a few…What?
‘Here? Derrick, there’s nothing.’
They’re, it’s different this time doc. What? Are you actually gon-...
'There’s nothing here Derrick.’
They’re- wait. They're talking. They found, something. Oh! Oh.
'There's nothing here! Security, Code Blue Exam 4. Just sit tight Derrick.'
Everything's ok doctor, they found it. What I was waiting for.
'What's that?'
A boat.
And light fell from his eyes.
Row, Row, Row...

Absurdly tall but incredibly small. Suction cups for eyes and a thirst for blood. Magician blood. Not wizards. Very attention seeking though surprisingly shy. Blond of course. Dusty blond. Surrounded at all times by five distinct things, each slightly more deadly then the other. He does wear khakis though that's not a strike against him. Above all else, he has a kind heart, and a solid disposition to abstract expressionism. @famewiter
I saw her today. Glistening, glowing faintly in the sweet night. How could I express? She dances with poise, sincere; her scales atwitter as my heart. Oh Jez, you shimmer in the dark. You miraculous thing. You, champion of charm; envoy of elegance; your slime sublime saturates my mind! and your tentacles are delightful.
Such as tethered? Because, sure, you could say that. 'Connected' is more accurate. The link is beneficial. it's purposeful; 'Tethered' is stuck.
'Their is difficult as well. It's almost a they, better a many-as-one deal; 'they' act in the singular.
See, there is a continuous distinct hookup between not only all-living things but all things "alive" you dig? Culminating in the sizable collection of unconsciousness we refer to as 'life'. We may as well be referred to as one, through the whole of this creation process we're all finding ourselves in.
So to the strings part, there is a disconnect in our cognition of all this. 'Their' intentions are really 'our' intentions, acting without getting why. It hurts to harm things. We're the dog biting it's tail. A severe tunnel vision we've framed as reality.
Yes! It is an illusion. We are living Lies!
And as for why this is beneficial, very simply, we get something amazing.
It's a chance at being alive.
