In that place it's impossible not to wonder if the human soul could find its way to heaven if you, say, slipped and cracked your head on the spotless curb. "Go towards the light" has little currency is a place where neon supremacy outdoes the sky.
The moon and stars are tawdy and meek by comparison.
You are pretty sure you came here looking for something but you've lost your way in a labryinth of storefronts haloed by half-understood japanese sigils. You bought something that reminded you of food and put it in your mouth, and hey, it was delicious. Your alienation is intoxicating but your watch has stopped and the feeble stars overhead seem to have shifted and danced overhead and you are arriving at the realization that you have been devoured by this district.
So you wander through this fabulous intestine, pulled forward by the muscular movement of the crowd. You buy things. You thrust money into the hands of clever merchants in exchange for arcane wires and flat panels with interlocking touchscreens begging to be touched, the purpose of which objects is irrelevant next to your need to own them.
The crowd washes around your ankles. You forget them. The alleys seem to be getting narrower, the lights less persistent. It is unimaginable that it should be dark in this place so when you look up and can't see farther than the nearest wall you are at first too surprised to be afraid.
Hands, in the darkness.
You remember how sharks, approaching a swimmer, will butt and brush and rasp to see if this flailing object is alive, if it will bleed.
So, a hand, on your arm. Curiously courtly, as if to escort you to a dance. As you turn, it slips away. You say something in english, and the night laughs.
Your leg next, and the back of your neck. Somehow the radius of your vision has irised inward, it is like you are trapped in a black shell two feet in every direction.
You are being herded. You flit away from hands on your hip, up your skirt, down your back, and find more. You can't imagine how many, but the night seethes with long fingers and slender arms, but no faces. Just so many amputee limbs grasping at your flesh.
You can taste the lust of this city. There are no individuals groping you, plucking at your clothes, it is the buildings and the sidewalks and the signs in the distance that look like they were carved out of frozen lightning. The elemental erection of the city is present in the breath, in the heartbeats, in the footfalls of this mob.
There is a door. You are being held. You are led through.

bastard! he's ignoring my friend request!![]()
no, i swear! I just sort of forgot i have a fetlife and also lost power at my house for a day or so, living as I do on the highest peak of a windswept crag in an ornate gothic mansion teeming with catamite servants and vampish maids.
god basically treats my powerlines like they were cobwebs in His house
c'mon you guys! give me something to write about. My lunch break won't last forever.
Gardening. Pulling weeds, water cans, work gloves. That kind of thing.
How about something with a medieval knight in shining armour with a bdsm twist?
ok what the fuck
why is my face compressed like that.
aaah that's weird! ok so that's not what I look like but it's close.
