Part 8 – “Time and Sanity”
Like James, I too have a confession to make as this story’s messenger – not an author; I can neither confirm nor deny its fictitious nature.
I have no idea how to properly convey the passage of time in its whole – its significance, its poetry, its aesthetic. I struggle with passing a few hours, let alone the months I seek to skip over.
Forgive me for skipping so much time. I do not want a story that has more chapters than days in a year, that takes more time to read in its entirety than a dictionary, or an encyclopedia.
In any case, it simply is impossible to come up with so many original ideas to fill out each and every day of the year, which applies to James’ guards and handlers to arguably benefit, not detriment.
At times, the most profound epiphanies and most powerful destructions are achieved through repetition alone.
One could make use of silence and let it sit there, unchanging. Get that, and pile on ad nauseum.
Well then.
