The Fool was swept into the strong ocean currents. He was dragged across rocks. He could see land in the distance, when he could get his head above the surf, but his strength was getting sapped fighting the currents. He was having a hard time getting breaths of air. Maybe the Devil was protecting him. […]
The Fool stayed suspended there until he realized that he was just standing in the dark. He started making out a grey spot in the blackness ahead of him, so he began walking. He noticed the smell of earth and moisture all around. He could hear the dripping of water. He wasn’t in an abyss […]
The Fool wandered on the road until he came to a pond. The sky was at twilight, so the night had fallen, but the western horizon still glowed green. He walked through lightning bugs that swarmed around the small body of water. Narcissus grew everywhere, and the purple flowers bowing in prayer almost vibrated from […]

The Fool was falling. He was falling through space. He passed planets, suns, and stars. He saw galaxies and giant colorful clouds of gas. He wasn’t breathing, but after some panic, he found that it didn’t matter. He gave up and decided to just take in the beauty around him. The vacuum of space was […]
