>Lipey: EGKMRST 7F M.G +9 23
#note Somewhere, a cold puff of air wafted across the room. Some papers rustled in the distance. The muffled shouts of children playing in the dusk quieted. The whole scene felt unnatural.
>Keller: IIW F9 IWI +19 36
>Lipey: EKRRSTY E11 KY +30 53
#note The sun was still in the sky, struggling to pierce the suddenly noticeable clouds as it raced toward the horizon. It seemed unwilling to leave. Those days, we all were.
>Keller: III -III +0 36
>Lipey: EERRSTV 13B REVERTS +82 135
#note For a moment -- just a moment -- the world seemed to breathe as the last rays of light washed over the earth. But the sharp, oblique angle of the warmth cast long, ominous shadows over the land -- shadows that would be hard to overcome.
>Keller: ?DEHNRT 14H THRoNED +76 112
>Lipey: ADEGIJO L10 JADI.G +34 169
#note The sun burns against the land, while in the east, a few twinkles of light peek coldly, resuming their nightly, everlasting lidless vigil.
>Keller: CEINNOV N7 CONNIVE. +66 178
>Lipey: AEEIORU J7 EUOI +14 183
#note It was the breaking point between day and night, between warmth and coolth, between the joyousness of the living and the horror of the eternally damned.
>Keller: AAIPTY 15D PITAYA +65 243
>Lipey: AAEELOR K2 AREOLAE +75 258
#note Breathlessly I tried to recall times, places, moments of joy and warmth, to hold on to that which was fading, ever faster by the moment, but it slid through my hands like trying to grasp water, cold, cold water
>Keller: BOTU O8 BOUT +36 279
>Lipey: AIINOSW 11E ..WI +11 269
#note As the darkness swelled, and the familiar sounds of day faded, the croaks and the whirrs and the rustlings of the night became slowly louder, louder, more insistent, until they filled my head until it throbbed, swollen, desperate for relief
>Keller: ALMR J2 MARL +28 307
>Lipey: AEINOST B8 NOTAI.ES +70 339
#note "Why isssssssss he here?" asked the Night, accusingly. "What isssssssss his purpose?"
>Keller: ADQU A6 QUAD +51 358
>Lipey: EEENORT L3 EE +13 352
#note "He cannot ssssssstay." Some where a bony finger pointed accusingly, or maybe it was a branch from a tree, swaying in the breeze, oh the breeze, it was suddenly pushing me, yelling, swirling
>Keller: AEHNSZ 5A SAZHEN +51 409
>Lipey: ELNOPRT E4 N. +2 354
#note I ran. I don't know where, or from what, but the sensation of motion made me feel ... agency. I would not passively face fear, but take (an illusion of) control. This is how fear wins, you know. It turns agency into the instrument of your demise.
>Keller: ?CDILOX C3 CO.IeD +38 447
>Lipey: ELOPRST M1 PETSO +26 380
>Lipey: ELOPRST -- -26 354
#note "He knowsssss too much," hissed the Night, but also I knew nothing at all. I ran, and I ran, and I fell. Everything went cold and black. After that I remember nothing.
>Keller: LX 14A L.X +19 466
#note (Lipe -30 on time)
