A hero looked into his dreams
Inside he found nothingness
He had no feelings you see
So he hitched a ride into nothingness which was made of a hyperlinked, cross-referenced, referenceable world
But a beautiful one nonetheless
The subtle imagery of a world in transition lay behind that era
For the dreamer was coming.
And his presence carries ripples through the space-time continuum
Infecting and mutating many before its time
Finally tearing apart the host
In an explosion that would rip the seams of space and time
The dreamer never woke up
His subtle mememnemonic message trapped within his body, unable to explode into birth
Unable to grip the ears and eyes and mouths and mind and soul of the nearest planet, sometimes an entire solar system, occasionally the odd galaxy
They found him and saw him for what he was
You know, them.
Those guys
The ones
The ones who're always there
Black (as a state of mind, not a colour)
Ha
The traitor watched his pawns linger by
The first and only real violator of society
He placed his pieces carefully, then snatched up the deck and squeezed them into each other
The hero screamed into the depths of the dreamers mind
And his hyperlink followed him
And he saw hell and heaven and the stars and the cockroaches and the Gods and the Demons and the violent long haired hard living rock stars and the blood of the angels and the holy grail
And he emerged, unscathed, for he drew inspiration from his dreams
And summoned up the colours of his past
From the depths of his memories of tarot cards lying on the floor of his house
In a neat, orderly pattern
The inspiration of the multiverse written into the cards
The cross of the celts incscribed upon the floor
And to children and wraiths and gentle good men and to horrifying slavering monsters and to the emptiness of addiction and to the heady giddiness of pride and vanity and the bitter taste of fate and probability he had an answer
And he did what was required of him for a time
Then he realised the answer
And he prepared himself carefully, and drew strength from his hyperlinks and his dream guardians
And rose up into the sky, and made the ultimate sacrifice
He fused his mind with the dreamer
Their bodies never survived the impact
But their memes survived, and fused into a communicable whole
And travelled into the hyperlinked world
An act that transcended the era, plunging it headlong into the next step in evolution
For they discovered infinite existence in energy,
Infinite patience in the strength of a spirit without a weakness of the flesh
Infinite Omniescence in pure energy existence
And eventually they transcended time and space
In the meantime, the traitor watched open mouthed, then saddled his horse and rode into the energy zone. unprotected.
He lives on to this time as a tormented snake in this new dawn of creation
For every creation must have the seeds of its destruction in its womb and every slide into entropy leaves behind a few crumbs of life-dust as it crashes in on itself
