A low monotone drone follows, “‘We ought to catch that,’” paired with a mournful sigh. Even slanted over the side of his company-designated divider, John still towers above the wall beneath him. <br> “Grandma Ester used to sit on the porch,” he says to no one in particular. “She’d predict the weather from the beat of their song. One chirp for—” <br> “It’s still going to be miserable out,” a smarmy voice cuts in, quick and sharp. “Didn’t need a cricket to know that.” <br> A polite wave of chuckles crests and crashes upon a silent shore. John flops back into his seat, defeated. Somewhere, six feet beneath a nest of blue earth, the remains of Ester Wood roll over. Her familial whimsy seeps from John under the weight of the dissmal. <br> You tear yourself from your electronic trance, sockets burning, gears grinding from forced friction. You glance at the time and rise, short fingers cupped around ceramic, yearning for borrowed vigor. <br> [[Venture for Vigor]] </p></div></div><<silent>>  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com"> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Italianno&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> <<audio "title" play loop>><</silent>>

<div class="passageContainer"><div class="passageText">You contemplate the weight of the cup in your hand, fingers lingering on a carved salamander framed by licking flames. You turn the cup around awkwardly: A scene of bullfrog squatted under fat falling raindrops is carved on the back. Your sister went through the trouble of carving the creature, presenting it as a gift. A dull ache pounds in your chest. //Does she see you as a fierce achiever, or only a staunch observer?// The ceramic cup nests neatly in the coffee machine’s yoke. Acidic bile spews from its nozzle. You sip the concocted potion slowly, letting it sting. Your gaze drifts back to the sub-sublime vista before you. <<if $hasexplored == false>> [[Become the Salamander]] <</if>> <<if $hasexplored == true>><<set $vigor += 4>><hr>//Maybe it means nothing at all.// Your fingers trace the duckweed frame surrounding the salamander.

In this very moment, you could compel your body to move, to choose. You could rush to your desk and start grinding with reckless abandon.

You straighten against the countertop, your mind shifting states. “Thanks, it wass a gift from my ssisster.” Your tongue flops with sloppy saliva. You swallow; your throat is thick with mucus. “She made it.” You snap to the speaker—an adjunct coworker—and push yourself away from the kitchenette. “Coooool,” he responds, now nesting his vessel in the machine’s yoke. It’s polished silver, reflecting the dim morning light. For a brief moment, it glimmers with illuminated brilliance, and you catch it just before your exodus.

<<nobr>><div class="passageContainer"> <div class="passageText"> <div id="hiddenHook"> You meander away from your main office, guided by solitude into a nonenal-scented corridor. The exposed foundation walls, aged wood grain, and faint smell of old glue give you a sense of security and distant nostalgia. If a tornado were to strike, you picture yourself tucking neatly into one of the hall’s many closets or cupboards, retreating into a hollow womb. You find a tall, roomy storage closet. <<linkappend "Step Inside">> <p>Your hand caresses the wood grain as you close your eyes and listen to the stillness. the idle clicking of machines muffled by layers of concrete…the shifting of stone..the low hum of the HVAC system. A cold heart beating. </p> <<linkappend "Meditate on the Machine">> <p>Time feels suspended. There is nowhere to go, nothing to do.

An uncomfortable emotion rises, static in your blood. How long have you been here? It was only supposed to be a moment to think. You wedge your stout fingers through the opening and step out.</p> <p>“But I’m almost done away. Have to get back to work, of course.”</p> <p>Sizing up the intruder, your mind shuffles through a rolodex of new faces. This one, gobsmacked, belongs to a new acquaintance, a new coworker. He clears his throat after a moment and fixes his collar.</p> <p>“Do we always keep a designer stocked in this closet?” He lets out a small, shocked wheeze.</p> <p>“No... just when on standby.” You remark, passing the figure. “It’s all yours now.”</p> <p>Your eyes widen as you turn to return back to your desk.</p> [[Sit]] <</replace>> <</link>> </span> <</timed>> <</replace>> <</link>> </span> <</linkappend>> <</linkappend>> </div> </div><</nobr>> <<set $hasMeet = true>> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com"> <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Italianno&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> </div>

You look deeper and start to see all the technicolor dots that comprise his smirk. You’ve had this poster since you first attended community college. You felt so independent to finally purchase something with your own summer job money and pinned it with purpose on thewall. The hard smell of latex paint fills your senses. The feeling of shag carpet beneath you. This was the first time in your life, It was just you, alone. You bought this poster because you think you like Twin Peaks. You saw a season once and you think you were interested in the plot. After 6 years of schooling, an Associates and Bachelor's, and an array of shitty part-time jobs, you chose to hang it in your office cubicle as a reminder of something you don’t think you quite know or can articulate. You can recall the smoothness of the poster's fresh face beneath your fingertips, but can't recall how it made you feel. <<linkreplace "Take Down the Poster">> Even now, you are not sure if you like Twin Peaks or what even Twin Peaks is about. You look beyond magenta, cyan and yellow spots and see the yellowing empty space between the atoms of color. This thing is getting old.
