Then I told Death that we will no longer cower in their presence! Why should we ever?! We are equally lifeless! What possibly could Death take away from us?! Our souls?!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8I1iQ6W0B
Ha… we sold those long ago, which I suppose presents us well with an opportunity to have no leverage put upon us, but… somehow, Death still manages… how, you know?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGfLutkjDF
You… are you even listening? Why are you holding your head as if it aches? We do not even have the required biology for that… oh, could you perhaps be… in regret?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vai6KOfzk
What would you even regret…? We are here, now… whatever presence has the past on us? How can you even remember anything when your brain has long ago withered away?!
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DzpploYhF
Some affairs, I swear… I might never understand… I mean, there is reality, but then it seems there might be another layer on top of it… but if it is not reality…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm20yCubg2
What would the reality underneath even be? Just as-yet unknown mechanics, perhaps? How Death just seems to flitt around with no regard? Do they even know how they happen?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbNXrRSdOH
Well, at any rate… let us attempt to enjoy this sojourn, here, while it lasts… soon we end up being manipulated, as if puppets, by some compelling force, yet again…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2taS25YyWA
Do I… even remember anything? I mean, if I can cogitate… surely I also have, at least, short-term memory… so, I wonder why my past seems to be, as if, an abyss…

Skeleton B:
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ye0yKCdfs
Oh… where did I ever go wrong…? Does one just go wrong, or is it more labyrinthine than that? I assume the latter, but still… buildings can have poor foundations…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCJKz2xbTM
All I seem to recall is… one day I was there, now suddenly… where even is this? Why does it feel familiar, and yet so distinct from everyday experience? As if…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9biqMt0Ry
I am detached? Not entirely sure what that even implies, much less means, despite thinking it myself… so confusing, all this is… I mean, thoughts, they happen…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZkhneYUat
On an almost continual basis, they do… and, yet, they seem so… far-fetched, here? What does that even mean… let me try to be a bit rational here, perhaps…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdKSsbSnog
Could this be just fear, maybe? Anxiety that something might be unusual? I mean, I am still alive, so at least, on that front… should that not assuage my concerns…?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yg4zngdBB
What concerns, though…? I am not even sure… at least before, from what I can remember, I used to be able to identify, even if from a sociological basis, where they…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrgOVoRti
Derive from… now, though, it seems to be a jumbled ball of fear, as if I am a hollow husk whose very core is nothing but a shell of my former self… I am not, though?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2nSWun4E
Perhaps, I am just overthinking this, that is it… I should just relax, and… what, though? I mean, how can I even relax… I seem, somewhat, stiff…? Makes no sense.

Pumpkin Snowman:
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLG0nS3UcH
Oh… you appear to believe I am sentient, do you? Well, as it happens… and, what is that, you happen to be wondering what this place is, and who they are? Let me…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXFZB7Eyn
This… is a place frozen in time. Bereft of any sane stability, all they can do is flail in the very nadir of existence… sentient, they actually are… well…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQlXUTuAAt
Sentience is much more present than some would absurdly disbelieve… but this is not a realm like most others, where variances on life explore physicalities…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXWLZcO9N7
No… it is a limbo stuck in between, the liminal space between a graveyard and whoever is currently ferrying creatures to Hades; of course, that is not the only option.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oZ9uZeLEN
Why, some aspire to, even… inhabit the consciousness of Death itself. I mean, if they tried every other variance on life out there, why not that…? At least, they ask.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPCtqtCYXM
Not life itself, mind… when fear is a factor, you see, when the mere presence of my smile strikes anxiety, it can never aspire to such imagination; well, they can try.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PmjH00tmm
Whether reality aligns with the… existential crux, though… is another factor. You shall see; they will think things through, but never notice you while you are…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡublUelvoID
In a different dimension, for now at least… are you not? I can sense that… I, actually, am as well, but I can, somewhat, transcend barriers — at least, perceptually.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc9bXhxqac
You do not quite know what I refer to, do you? Well, communication is always typically opaque, even when one is on a parallel plane… one can understand, then…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzkEghuvMJ
Well… one might understand… difficulties inherent in inter-dimensional communication, or such; one can perceive fragments of thoughts around here, but never sense…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf3Utmt8rw
Do you, now… wonder what distinction is within perception, and sense? What, also, could be their relevance to this nightly abode…? One shall see… one shall feel…

Skeleton C:
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJVQkTk8Db
Hm, yes… quite interesting is data, quite… so, that goes there, then… wait, what…? Why does reading it do that, though? It is not like it could be forethought…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJAteP3WZG
Could it be… just a coincidence? Must be… either that, or dark matter is potentially… a sentient element that… pervades minds? Makes little sense…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI4OV8qsnY
Little is known, though, so… wait… it happens much later too, but this time they are… artificial constructs that besiege? Ah, surely this must be the happenstance.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWQugiPxek
Of course, both could be… just because one is less mundane than the other does not infer any such possibility… wait, what am I even thinking…? Also, why does it…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg1G24UUPN
Feel like… well, more like a psychological Surt, really, a fiery inferno standing in between fantasy and reality… still, I seem to be unable to advance through…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6yZ33NI70
As if… by some almighty, invisible force I am prevented… I suppose, one can always reason a priori, but could this be a symbol indicative of something in reality?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEoYW4oozD
Perhaps… I suppose? Why, though, am I even reading if… I seem unable to? I wonder if anyone else noticed this… or, perhaps, they might be too absorbed…?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rzxDBBc2b
What an existential conundrum I seem to have fallen into… is it just through my sheer thoughts, though, or does it persist in objective reality, I wonder… so strange.

Skeleton D:
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS3KdEIaP1
Hah, through this I shall worry no more… well, at least for a bit… until I do, or not… ah, what am I confounding about, already? I am here now, am I not?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzr6kJWilu
Not like I care much for any of this; then again, what do I care about? Ah, that is right… moon, stars, clouds… if only it was always so clear… but, then, it…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHKVDPR4fn
It always is so hazy, even artificially… I mean, what am I even surrounded by, here…? I can see all else, but not myself, somehow… yet I can still feel…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TbNR3hvRG
How does one feel without seeing? No, a better question would be… are they all indicators? Do they all point towards some universality, or is it just a subjectivity…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ezNVevCqn
What… am I even saying…? I used to just, merely, enjoy doing whatever, in the moment, and now I seem to be saddled with thoughts… not exclusively, but…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe7ajZaZap
The… percepts, I suppose… merely compel me to… cogitate… how? Can I not just gaze at the moon in wonder once more…? Can I not be sated ever again…?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePVLAw5JJj
I wonder what others think…? …? What…? I do not understand… am I not thinking outside the box here, or such…? Something seems wrong… or is it? No… no…?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLpxxzIz9B
I mean, I thought I did not quite think enough, and yet it seems I have… not thought at all, perhaps? Certainly not about anything that… pertains to reality, seems…

Ah, yes, and after we mix this elixir in, that life which seems seeped away will return, verily… we do not quite know what it is that is irritating us, no… but…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgOv8o5ucg
Well, surely one must assume, there is at least a chance that this substance will vitalize us again, truly… I mean, not a certain by any means, but it was…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaEYrkRvbz
Extracted from a pumpkin that had just returned from a graveyard’s ruined house… so, one knows it will be… sour. That is the essence of life, so presumably it will…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7CbC8f9e2
Imbue us with it? Although, to be honest, I am not entirely sure why I even want this… from what I remember, before this feeling of a… hole at the core…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJChMm70ca
Life was not much better, either… one supposes, being able to indulge in infusions of fantasy due to some vague, subjective resilience is… useful, to retain sanity…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEinXfKirWv
What difference does it make if throughout, and later on, there is this… gaping chasm? I mean, being alive or dead, at times, seems not so distinctive… ah, who cares.
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCQlPKlzXv
The fact is, whether or not it is quintessentially the truth or not, subjectively, this admixture, will, even if for a while, awaken the witch’s wizard in us, merrily!

Is that ghost, or… whatever they are… looking at me? I am not just imagining it, am I? I do not have an overactive… mentation, or such… do I? If so, it means…?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEIbTcJUkk
Am I supposed to feel fearful? To lose my wits even if I do not know why, exactly? To be terrified of a mere stare? Just because it derives from an imposing figure?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL9OdW71Br
Why, I may not know why this is so, and if, as my instinct seems to indicate, there is indeed danger; but as long as I am in this limbo state, I might as well attempt…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwahyqIwEM9
To forget, possibly? Ah, I realize I was able to do that much more, in worse but different conditions, prior; still, as long as I can think, even if there seems to be…

Something wrong with my… constitution? Still… if I think, am I not? If, with the passing of time, that figure obliterates me, or such… is it not better if I…

The future… I mean, even if the present has these crawling doubts… even if Damocles’ sword materializes above me… I shall try to look elsewhere, even though stiff.

I… hold the mind back in an ethereal abyss, at such a moment… it might not occupy, objectively, a huge temporal space… but it is eternal, in that present… fear.

Do you know… if you might listen for a bit… I was once going to my usual place, I was in transit, you see… and suddenly wondered, what if we are always as such…?
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYIb4hLuu5
As in… I know you are all too busy to focus, but this is the point… what if this is all part of the transit? So, in this sense, my transit as of now is saying this…

I know you might be too self-absorbed to tell me whether you can relate to this, but… I think I have a memory of how time used to pass for me, once… which seems…
274Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn6EEbAxGr
To be… quite distinct from the present. Time is such a strange concept… is movement through space necessary, too? I… do not think that seems to be happening here…
