You weren't looking up. You were looking out into something that had no floor, no ceiling, and no interest in the fact that you were there.

Finished reading Mark Fisher's 'The Weird and The Eerie.'
Really thought-provoking. I'm glad I took my time with this and read it in short chunks. I'll be drawing on these ideas for my own writing for quite some time, I think.

Wonderment Within Weirdness Is Weirdly an Anti-War Novel
Sometimes you write a book and only later realize what it was actually about. That might sound strange, but it happens more often than people think.
