Blood On The Broken Fourth Wall: Part I
(or, The Beast Of His Nature)

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and every cause has its effect...It's perfectly natural, and infinitely unavoidable.

It's a very common view that the Universe is a crazy place, but why is that? It can be argued that the Universe is a crazy place because everyone in it is crazy, and anyone who thinks they're sane has simply got to be out of their delusional effin' mind.

It can also be argued that the Universe is a crazy place because even if given enough time, everything in it can eventually be explained, but unfortunately, not everything in it can ever be understood.

It's just the nature of the Beast.

When any action is taken: big, small, mighty or mundane, the reaction ripples across the Universe, carried by time...much like dropping a pebble in water. The ripple travels outward; infinitely in all directions with a sound so low on the register that it's felt deep in your core more than it's heard, & it careens across the Universe beyond the limit of imagination & the scope of thought.

Hello...Welcome to Edinburgh.

My name is Kevin, and I'm the subconscious of a man named Damien McEwan.

At the moment, he's asleep and dreaming, so, if you're game for it, you have the opportunity to take a tour of his mind with me as your guide if you like.

However, I need you to understand that the Universe is ultimately a crazy place because the resulting ripples of every action taken and made by every living thing...Human, plant, animal and alien, crash against one another with the subtle rumble of a tsunami, that forces open the door to a path that begins here, and I'm going to need you to choose to walk through it with me of your own free will.

C'mon. What could possibly go wrong?...
