SO there's a RADIO
I'm thinking it MIGHT be real radio
or it might be in a DREAM
& MAYBE at least
SOME of the
TIME
the radio is an antique radio
that's broken, not CONNECTED
to any SOURCE
of electricity
BUT
it crackles with static sometimes
sometimes it starts telling stories
late at night
that wind their way into
DREAMS
there's a place
it's another version of the number five munchee
it's not exactly a coffee shop
it's not exactly an oracle
it's some kind of
PLACE
maybe it's internal
maybe it's a quantum hub
BUT
it's
a
PLACE
where
quetz"/
is mixing up some sort of
what you
NEED
quetz"/
can take different forms
BUT
the main one
is twisting
vibrating
shining uncomfortably white
can't quite SEE it
though you're looking right at it
FEATHER-Y
but somehow
unsubstantial
& at first I thought the main character was a detective, but THEN I THOUGHT maybe
we don't know what the main character is
there's a need for integration
& this quetz"/ might be part of the integration
& it's moving like one of those sock wind puppets
dispensing wisdom
like some cosmic bartender shaman
MAYBE about
whatever
TODAY
REQUIRES
I want to FIND
some way to make this
WORK
as a sort of surreal simulacrum of
internal processes
to represent
internal
integration
this is a change from what quetz"/ was before
some sort of hybrid webverse daemon & mythic abstraction
NOW
it's MORE
guardian God
indwelling
DIETY
UNchained CORE ENERGY
so it's not the empathy engine
BUT
maybe I talk to it about the empathy engine
OR
maybe I tell it my problems
with empathy in the world
I thought about making it more concrete
& I thought about making
the radio tell a STORY
& then the detective
goes to the park
& runs into a
girl with a
LOCKET
that represents the sense of optimism and belief
that
was once felt about the world & this country
by
she had had it thrust upon her
by
what SEEMED like an
ANGEL
at the hospital
she took her hand
SAID
there is a god who loves us
& it's all gonna be okay
& then she and the detective
HUNT for the person who
IS that optimist
BUT
I wanted it to be
as it turned out
less concrete
BUT
MORE personal evolution-y
I KINDA want you
THERE
MAYBE I'm telling you the story of what happened
or maybe I can get you in there somehow
you are always with me
in some quantum-y
entangled way
I MIGHT have this more clearly defined and workable that before
OR
I might be kidding myself
I spent a long time
THINKING
about
it
