Posters and stickers mark the walls in history, if I run my hands across them they will tell me a story in the way of Parisian cobblestones. The time before me is fascinating. I try to picture the establishment of things, the scope becomes so vast as to be vague. My eyes start to hurt from looking into it. I squint, breathe, and wonder briefly how to proceed. Caleb looks at my profile with defiant silence and scratches his balls. Because I’ve noticed, I don’t say anything. I drink my water and nod, agreeing with all that has happened.

This reads very nicely although I’m not sure I got the ending.

Thanks for reading Inkposts. Sometimes life is a beautiful tapestry and other times it’s just a guy pissing on your rug. I suppose depth comes from perspective.

Thanks, I like to catch it while it’s flowing out of my head instead of relentlessly chiselling it out of my skull. It hurts less that way.
