Crest Acquired

Today I got into my parents' old car (which only I drive) and noticed a scrap of paper on the floor of the driver's seat. I assume it fell out of a folder after doing cut-ups or collages at IG's. I lifted the tiny bit of text out of the dry leaves and shiny dirt (from my sneakers) and held it to the light of the cd player. It read, "deep and newly surfaced minerals allowed to live."

Bad Situation

Last night I dreamt of a shadow version of my apartment. My room in the dream was only faintly illuminated, and I slept on a ratty mattress on the floor. There were two shelves in my room of bizarre dolls and toys, whose eyes followed me as I walked across the room. The hallways was long and dark, with dozens of very old computers the only light source, while mysterious kids played ancient floppy-disk dungeon crawlers and Wolfenstein 3D-type FPS games.
