Countdown begins.

The beginning is the end is the beginning.
To look upon it's face was madness.

As the day draws to a close, I find myself watching the sunset, basking in its brilliance.  It is a wondrous thing; millions have tried to capture it's essence in prose and metaphor and I sit before it.  Such a grandiose gesture, such a cosmic nod; the galaxy is watching.

But it makes one feel insignificant.  Something so big, casting it's eyes upon me.  I find myself going to dark places suddenly, shuffling important incriminating papers and files to the incinerator in my brain.  It makes me relive some long forgotten shame.

So I curse it.  Futile and unfulfilled, I shake my gloved fist at it.

The days and nights merge, today is tomorrow's yesterday, it all blends.  I'm struggling to get things done, my mind is a mess.  What did I do wrong?  Did I go too far ahead?  What is happening to me?

Ever have one of those Snoop-on-something days?  When you can't just -not- look into someone's journal left wide open on the cafeteria table.  That he's sitting in front of.
Because you possessed him?

I found myself disoriented last week, stumbling around the galley, tray of food in hands.  My pineapple chunks were in my mash potatoes and as I sat I wondered if that was where I went wrong.  Letting them mix.  I was angry, frustrated, so I broke apart my salisbury steaks with the fork and stirred the whole thing up!
The resultant glop was actually tasty.

I found a parchment pinned to the door on level 7.  It sounds like a tough stew.

1-11-11
6 pm Dinner
One can of Lima Beans, Green Beans, Black Eye Peas, Cream of Mushroom Soup.

Times, they are a tough.
Henchmen can't get a decent meal, let alone every day!
(Salisbury steak?  Lima Beans?)
Now if only I knew where to get some sandwiches.  And they have to be free sandwiches too.. yeah..
Divert all meal funding to.. uh.. my pocket!
Ha ha ha.

And then, the night surrounded me.
All at once.
I was in the dark.

A few young men were going to set the watch fire, there are things to do.
So much to do.

I think I will head inside for a bit.
The temperature drops so fast.

It's killing my battery.
Stupid electronics.
