RE: Mind As A Sacrificial Decay

This piece reads like rich prose from a high-end fantasy video game or movie. I couild see some of these lines being carved on the walls of ancient temples, or within the shattered depths of a vast maze of tombs, inhabited by a deadly "it" just waiting to ensnare the luckless explorer.

Some standouts:

but why am I bathed from river blood instead of an unscathed estuary?

Yet, I do not feel it. I cannot yearn for something invisible yet so near and beating and mourning.

There is nothing holy and sacred from the ceiling of graces I have whispered my prayers unto.

I could add more, but you get the picture. I once read a story about a man who'd been trapped inside a world he'd entered into through a bewitched, and evil old book. A man on a quest found the title in a dusty chest and had to figure out how to enter in through it in order to rescue that poor lost soul. I could totally see text such as this populating that tome as a coded cry for help.

Well-written words can be like the high-quality ingredients of a delicious dish. Here, yours are very well done indeed. Bravo!

Thank you so much, I appreciate that a lot. It makes my heart giddy that my writing reminded you of an awesome fantasy extravaganza. Now, I am interested in that story as well! Do you perhaps know the title to this? I might read into it when I have time.

My pleasure, your writing was so good. Of course the title escapes me (isn't that the way it always is?). I even delayed posting my comment as I sought in vain to recall it. However, if by some miracle it ends up coming back to me, I'll be sure and let you know. Cheers!

I'll be looking forward to that! Thanks a lot ♡
