A fuzzy snapshot of an image and a few lines – just enough to spark something. Muse. Meditation. A string of thoughts now. A figure on your street staring up to your window. A twisting loop of suburban streets unfolding out in geometric fractal patterns. Research chemicals and gateways. What lives between the seams? Can dreams be eaten?
This week we offer A Long Walk Home. If it strikes you and leads to something, run free. Tell me about it. Or don’t. Keep it sacred. Keep it safe.
“There’s a boy out there. He’s just standing in the street.”

She didn’t even give the classic haha-real-funny face back. Not even the squint.
Instead, she whispered, “He’s looking at me.”
She repeated it, but more hushed. A slight pause and she said it again. Again. Faster.
He’s looking at me.
“Babe?”
And she began to scream.
