⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰ We set the scene ; a dark dead end area somewhere among the shores, supposedly somewhere where beasts of the night would thoroughly enjoy lurking. It is deep into the evening, the moon gleaming far overhead. At least, you think; You’ve gone too far in to see its glorious light. NOW. In the flickering lights, shaded figures sneak through the pockets of shadows. One particular dancing figure catches your eye, where the night ripples in an eerie fashion. You can’t quite grasp the feeling, but one word could perhaps be foreboding. Apprehension as the evening feels constricting, slowly encircling you. You can’t quite tell where it is, until you turn your head upward. 3 bright eyes gleam through the gloom, slowly swaying as they examine every inch of the subject wrapped in their serpentine form. Uncurling with a glance backwards, the figure slinks away as a piano slowly sings a tune. ⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰ 「 ❝ HAND ME MY SHOVEL , I’M GOING IN ! ❞ 」 ╰──₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ . . . a chatoyancy application ⊱ ─── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ─── ⊰ may be changed to ff later in accordance with “death of the author,” the meaning of a piece of media is “whatever you want it to be.” however, note the quotes, as it is still an ongoing debate as to how much weight the author’s words hold. kicking my little feet hi chatty does that work as a foreword?
