August 21, 2023 Subtle Variations (a story)
This episode features a story that maybe one or two people will enjoy. The aftermath of a darker period can sometimes be a little bit tenuous because we don't want to go back to that dark period, nor do we want to bury it completely -- nor do we want to remain stuck in place, afraid or otherwise. Revisiting this story after many years was interesting, and in many ways it reminds me of my relationship with The Return, oddly enough.

April 20, 2023 "The Dark Father's Tale" (a Twin Peaks poem)
Thank you to (Ai) Mr. C for voicing my attempt at a modern Traveler's Tale (the kind Chaucer wrote). The rhyme scheme is 10-syllable couplets, and the story is both timeless and strange. Audio borrowed from Josef P.
The Dark Father’s Tale
Our story in many ways is timeless
But also out-of-time, mysterious.
A quest of sorts ‘cross place & dimension
Of wants (not needs) beyond comprehension.
Reroutings, misdirections, lost bearings;
Enemies, allies, spooks, & red herrings.
A supernatural Battle of Wits:
The hunt for (and choice between) coord’nates.
Strange-but-true to flesh & blood, ears & eyes,
Our tale resumes with a double-surprise:
Arriving in a gas-station phone booth
Our hero. Expelled from his search for truth,
Sent through the wire of a trickster’s phone.
Abandoned, alone, and then, not alone.
A dark son and darker father unite
Under black moon, near a staircase of night.
A dark reunion, this black reception
Black as that child’s curséd conception.
Here, outside this store of (in)convenience,
A stick-up, a hold-up with no defense –
The pursuer pursued; a hand and gun,
A father tracked down by his misfit son.
And yet, this gun-to-head’s a stroke of luck:
The assailant’s dispatched, thrown in a truck.
No longer alone, passenger in tow
Our hero now goes where he needs to go.
The night black as the pit from pitch to pitch
He parks the truck near a gravely ditch
Where the father trades a riddle’s reply
For a device aimed at a target high.
The son, unlike the father who lumbered,
Climbs unencumbered toward digits numbered.
The dark father watched (his own fate would wait)
And listened to his son investigate.
On this holy hill, a new mystery:
The good fortune of youth-complicity.
A marriage of synchronicity
Of flesh of blood of electricity –
“I’m there!” said the son; coordinates matched;
Then he, not father, was brightly dispatched.
Trapped, zapped, snapped-up in full ocular view
Before your eyes and binoculars too.
The cow jumped over the moon: Switcheroo~
Those numbers were rotten, and Richard too.
“Oh,” said father, with a turn of his heel,
His work not done, climbed behind the wheel.
Another path ruled out, a course outrun
Calmly and cold said I: “Goodbye, my son.”

March 28, 2023 (Excerpt) What happens when your main thesis changes - late?
These comments from John Thorne were extremely interesting to me - for multiple reasons.
One reason, which we discuss in an earlier part, is the possibility (*and without the script we'll never know) that John's path might have echoed the Fireman's, i.e., by needing to be reimagined very late in the game.
