Several thoughts in my head right now

Something feels wrong about today. I can't tell if it's me or just everything around me. The sunlight doesn't seem to fit. The snow doesn't seem to fit. The cold, the light, my clothes... it all just seems wrong. Even my own skin feels uncomfortable. It's not quite itchy, it's more like a pair of pants that are a little too stiff and a little too

God for most people is (and has been for centuries) exactly that. He's an excuse, a scapegoat. He's the guy humans get to blame or ask things of and never be nice to. How ironic, then, that he's supposed to be the "ruler" in a sense, or the one higher than us, and yet all most humans do is bitch at him. He's much like a parent, I suppose. Earlier (so the Bible tells us), he kept us in line by smiting us when we were bad, but in these modern, touchy-feely times, he's become the loving, accepting parent who gives in too all our tantrums. Or that's mankind's view, anyway.

I like The Maxx. Our society really seems to downplay the importance of imagination in many respects. I think it's immensely important, however. Go on, run off to that better-suited world.

Your first paragraph conveys an unpleasant feeling via content, but I like the way you've written it. Almost too pretty for such an unfitting day.

You can definitely tell how the first paragraph was effected by the writing style of the author of the Maxx.

That's certainly part of the appeal of the show, heh. The narrator has a cool creepy voice, too. That's another.

you feel out of place because you are. while you were sleeping, i took your slumbering form and put it in a replica environment made of styrofoam, including the "people" you interact with. i suppose it couldn't be perfect though... sorry about that.

Damnit! I thought I was real this time. Let's try this again...

Beautiful. My plan to thwart others' successes is coming along nicely.
