It’s that feeling of being understood.
It’s that feeling of somebody embracing your nuances of character and humor.
It’s a kind of banter, a back and forth, like you’re tickling each other’s brains with words.

And it feels incredible because it’s reciprocal.
It goes both ways.

It’s rare, and strangely hypnotic. You feel that there is a line that you can cross, and the whole point of it is that you never actually do. But you could.
And that just makes this so exciting — getting your brain tickled.

At that moment, the other is similar enough but just different enough to create a tension of energy, like a rope that you’re both pulling on.

It makes me feel like I am meant to be here. To experience connection. Liveliness.

It’s a mind game played with words.

You are currently traversing the limitless expanses of Visual Fiction. Each narrative fragment in this collection unravels a memory of a man drawn into an alternate reality. With every piece, he steps deeper into the unknown, attempting to describe the indescribable, to paint the unseen, and to make sense of the senseless. These tales offer glimpses into bizarre worlds that can at times feel both intimately familiar and strangely threatening.
