The world in which the carousel will twirl is not the hollow hell you fear it is the world. Dance to the beat of the thump of the chase of the still and plastic horse hooves which cannot break from where they are secured by bolts and glue and eggshell-thin reality that paints a visage of sense almost enough to tell you that the nausea that swells and pushes at the limits of your mind is incorrect. The music calls a name that through the tears of half-grasped memories seems almost and eternally familiar.
#CEASELESS WATCHER TURN YOUR GAZE SKIN#
Round and round and round it goes and when it deigns to stop who you might be you cannot know, so touch and feel the skin atop your skull to test the limits and extremities of where this canvas comes to rest, in robbed identities and peeling names that you could swear were never yours. Your face is not your face is not your face around the curling carousel it twists in place to take from you and all the tattered stolen souls who sense of me is swollen and distended into nothing. Good point! Um, okay, well, uh – good luck I’ll be, uh – over there. What does – “strange” mean, with something like this? ARCHIVIST Um – in that case, do you want to – do your thing now, then, before we start moving? Uh, are we close enough? ARCHIVIST I’d really rather not deal with her if we can avoid it. N-No, Nikola died with the Unknowing it’s, uh… (shaky inhale) an old friend. Her? (pause) J-John, please don’t tell me there’s an evil clown doll down there, because – ARCHIVIST I’m hoping if we’re quick we can avoid her notice. So you said the riders were the victims… where’s the monster? ARCHIVIST (overlapping) I would advise – (softer) against doing that.
(teasing) You – Are you sure? I could speak to an attendant – ARCHIVIST
I mean, obviously I wouldn’t want to ride this one we’ve got quite enough thrills already. (heh) I actually, uh… There’s one at London Zoo – uh, was one at London Zoo. (laugh) Never really liked merry-go-rounds anyway. ARCHIVISTĮither way, best not to actually climb onto the thing if we can help it. Would you believe me if I said they were the victims? MARTINĪt this point, I’m not even surprised.
(slowly) You think we could – get – that experience just – walking along the edge? Because, uh – I really don’t like the look of those riders. Psychologically, we need to experience them. (squeaky breath) Uh – We need to go through them… metaphorically. ARCHIVISTīut – you said we needed to go through these places. (overlapping) Or you might never see the same spot again? ARCHIVIST If you tried to measure the diameter, I – uh – it’d probably only be a half mile or so.īut the curve doesn’t work quite right, and if you stayed in the same spot and just – hopped on a horse and let it carry you ‘round, it – might be… days before you passed the same spot, or, uh… MARTIN Yeah, but – I mean, how big is it, actually? ARCHIVIST I mean, yeah, but when you said big – ARCHIVIST
