I feel I should make a record--though the trauma remains raw--while the details are still fresh in my mind. To set it in record, now, before true memory blends as it always does with the altered and revised memories which are a natural consequence of accessing a memory again and again, in various circumstances and as new memories distance the reality of the event farther and farther from the present moment, and from the truth of the account, close as it can be rendered. I should.

Yet every time I set forth to put ink to page, something balks me. Perhaps it is as simple as the uncertainty of where to begin. Perhaps it is the fear that to recount these eldritch horrors will draw up from me the wellspring of unspeakable dread and terror I have managed to suppress so far, but with an admittedly tenuous grip, almost like a gutshot man clutching his belly to prevent that red stain from sitting and his life fluid leaking out. Or perhaps it is simply self doubt, a lack of confidence in my own abilities to adequately convey the sense of what it was to be there, in the flesh, in the moments when it all transpired.

No matter. If this thing is to be done at all, a beginning must be chosen. So I choose to begin with a metaphor. I suppose it's as good a place to begin as any other. I begin with the sensation of goose flesh, the hairs raising on the backs of my arms and the back of my neck, the wholly singular sensation one experiences when confronted with the movements of a creature from the uncanny valley. A thing the mind instinctually recoils from. A thing that should not be.

Picture a man walking along a beach near sunset. He enjoys the feel of the sun and breeze against his skin, the sound of the waves gently rushing towards him and receding, the scent of the saltwater in the air, the feel of the sand between his toes. Something catches his attention, something slight and nearly missed, but once glimpsed cannot be unseen it ignored. Some tiny anomaly, but it works his curiosity, and he has no choice but to investigate. He approaches guileless and incautious, having apprehended no cause for trepidation as

Can't blame him - but see, there's a smaller cactus already passed - clearly some foul spirit has cursed him to pass ever larger cacti with a smile on his face.

When I was little, my dad would read me a picture book called This Too Shall Pass. Whenever I was upset he would tell me this too shall pass. Scraped my knee? This too shall pass. Bad grade? This too shall pass. Crying because I was being bullied? This too shall pass. He passed away when I was 16. Next week will be seven years without him. Even though he’s been gone for so long now, I still say to myself “this too shall pass.” And it does. And it will.

Technically that can be seen as true, since g e existence of the universe is finite and on a more personal level even things that are terminal or crippling for life will end with one’s inevitable death.

Though, if one considers death a circumstance, then this is categorically incorrect

"Foreskin restoration is the process of expanding the skin on the penis to reconstruct an organ similar to the foreskin, which has been removed by circumcision or injury. Foreskin restoration is primarily accomplished by stretching the residual skin of the penis, but surgical methods also exist".

In the 90’s. it’s Halloween. I live in a city within the Sonoran Desert of American West of the US.

I’m in a full Batman costume getting candy and doing my thing but I can barely see through the flimsy, cheap mask.

It’s dark out of course and on my way out from a house I trip over a walkway side brick and fall on a cactus plant.

I had to pick needles out from my ass the rest of the night. I mean, It could have been worse but the costume got most of it.

What’s the morale of the story? Tell me your thoughts.
