Lucid Consciousness

Person awakens in a living room, sitting with several strangers. Living room decrepit. Yellowed walls. Only decoration or visual display is an ancient console based tube TV with a VCR on top. There is an old high end video camera on tripod to the left of the TV in the corner of the room. A door to the left.

The strangers are all hanging out like it is a normal night, conversing, joking, smoking and drinking. The TV is turned off.

One of the strangers, sat in a recliner to the side, notices the guest is awake, what’s to one of the hosts on the couch. Picks up a remote control from an end table and turns on the TV. Static fills the screen

The Hosts show a video of a woman being horribly tortured in the same room with the Guest, on the same couch, which is now revealed to be covered in white plastic.

After hanging out as if just having a good time the Hosts begin torturing the Guest

Some of the people in the room are not participating in the torture. More Guests?

Throughout movie the point of view shifts to the Guest’s after awhile the shadows begin dancing

Break away stories are origins of the other people, revealing which are really Guests and which are really Hosts

It is revealed that all of the water given to the Guest has been laced with LSD

At some point Guest begins laughing

The shadows take firmer shape into monsters

The Guest, speaking what sounds like gibberish is actually talking about how something went wrong at some point in his lift and his hallucinations become real

A host folds in on themself as if reality were pinched and vision of that area is fish-eyed

Others begin screaming as blood and limbs begin flying from shadowy sythes

Good bye, Thank You

There’s a tattoo on my brain

It’s in the shape of your name

Unconsciously poking at it

Probing for that missing tooth

Every time it hits the nerve

I sink into self doubt

My negative self talk screams

I am not worthy

I do not deserve

I am a

I am not

Weeks we spent in constant contact

Washed away with no warning

Choosing the healthy path I walk away

Reality rears it’s head and laughs

My negative self talk screams

I am not worthy of

I do not deserve this

I am a burden

I am not worth it

Our interactions become unimportant

Doxers harassing me

A close friend is homeless

My brother is dying

My child is sick

While I wish you were here to support me like I was there for you

I am screaming

I am not worthy of this

I do not deserve this

I am not a burden

I am not worthy of your

Consider this your eviction notice

There’s no more room inside my head

I only wish the best for you

I hope you get the help you need

Good bye

I am not worthy of this treatment

I do not deserve this neglect

I am not a burden

I am not worthy of your disdain

Forest of one

Demanding as a child,

I wait for each reply,

Constantly looking for validation,

Dreaming of the day,

You’ll never go away,

Pushing you away with every action.

Resplendent as a new day,

Someone new with whom to share,

Effervesce as the interests begin to rise

Sharing causing tingles of excitement,

Overflowing from me,

A flood of attention and desire

Unfurling like a bud blossoming,

All my truths spill out

Exposing my core

Rotten with the desperate need to fit in

The flies gather at the feast

A gluttony of spoiled ego

Drifting as if a leaf from a tree

Settling to the detritus below

Another friendship left to decay

Adding to the soil

Smothering each glimmer of hope

While building up the tree to stand alone

Crushing like the Earth on Atlas’s back

My need for attention builds up

Smothering any interest

Self destructive inclinations reinforcing what I know

I’m a burden, I’m overwhelming, I’m too much

I shouldn’t inflict me upon anyone

Another Dawn another day

Together we walk

Taking in sunlight

I’m right here

With you

Then it’s

To the store 

Then

To the shop 

Grab A coffee

Black with two sugars

We have so much in common 

We’re so familiar

We’ve grown so close

We are so alike

The further we’re apart

The more we need each other

I follow along

I’m here with you

I’m here with you

I’m. Here. With. You.

Off we go

To another show

This is the place

We’re settling down

I’m Here with you

I’m here all casually

Edging along your line of sight

I’m Here with you

I’m Here with you

We bump into each other

Long time no see

I’m  Here with you

I’m Here with you

I’m Here with you

I’m Here with you

You head home

And lay down

Exhaustion steals you away

I’m Here with you

I’m here with you

I’m here with you

I’m here with you

I sneak in to steal a whiff

I inhale 

Then As you stir

I fade away

I fade away

I fade away

I fade away

You smell so much better when you’re asleep

Beauty

You lay down

Exhaustion s consumed you

I sneak in to steal a whiff

I inhale 

As you stir

I fade away

You smell so mutch better when you’re asleep

Well okay…I’m proud

Proud of my race?

Proud of the color of the semen that met the egg?

The more you speak the more I know you’re wrong

Opinion makes up about as much fact as guessing the number in my head

Not even close! It’s my lone middle finger extended in your face

May as well be proud as the country that wiggling zygote met the egg

Oh wait…let me guess…I should be proud of that too?

The more you speak the more I know you’re wrong

Opinion makes up about as much fact as guessing the number in my head

Wrong again!

So close! Both my middle fingers standing in salute to your willful ignorance

Did you have to go to asshole school?

To earn your doctrine in apathy?

We’re all the same beings on Starship Earth

Proud of my race?

Proud of what color shows when light hits my skin?

Peel it all off and we’re all blood red

Proud of my birth?

Proud of my skin?

Proud of my birthplace?

Uhhhh yeah my parents fucked…well okay, I’m proud

Your parents fucked too

And their parents

And their parents

So many generations of people

Worked to the bone

Dead and gone

To produce you

And you want to say all odd their lives

All of their accomplishments

All of their sacrifice

Is the peak of your life goals?

What a waste of time and space
