The lie came out of the darkness and attacked me. It had long secrets for arms and a smeared photograph for a face. Its body was one giant repressed memory, supported by twin pillars of denial. It was hiding in the closet

You get a gold star.

Glad you liked it. It's weird how the stuff I spend time on isn't as well received sometimes as the stuff I just dash off in a hurry. It doesn't always work like that, of course, but this one was just a 1 in the morning "Oh jeez, I haven't written yet" fifteen-minute special.
Maybe that energy comes through or something.

My theory's always been that word association's far far easier when you're tired, so neat concepts bleed through with less effort.

Sure, sure. I like that theory. Feels right.

I rather love this one.
Definitely write more when you're tired. ;) Maybe being closer to sleep is allowing you to access all the treasures in your subconscious. Or your dreams - either/or/same thing.

Thanks. This is a classic. One of my faves, too.
