Today i noticed a metallic spot upon my hand. It was cold to the touch, And as i removed it i noticed it was an needle. A needle of impossible length for the space provided. When it was removed i discovered there was a third eye hidden in my hand. It opened slowly as if it had been asleep for an immeasurable time. As it opened i saw things beyond my wildest dreams. I saw great cities beyond me in all directions, People above and beneath me, The wars of past and yet to come, I saw the beautiful awakening of the ocean of stars, And i saw it all end at the hands of the glass toothed beast. Before the eye had wholly opened, i reinserted the needle. I didn’t think i could handle all the reality laid out before me. I felt that being a spec in reality would be safer than the alternative, to be enveloped by its crawling chaos.

Aphorism 1. Dues Ex Oculus
