Captains Log - The Narcissist in Stillness episodes
- Floyd. Pink Floyd.
A time-bent postcard from Velaris stops feeling like a weird keepsake when Hart brings us a photo of his missing daughter that matches its impossible landscape. We follow the trail from a “nothing unusual” radio broadcast to a matchbook message that suggests reality can be built from consistent evidence. .

- The Five Shapes of Damnation
Captains log 2609110416: A sleep-deprived stowaway decides to spend an entire day restoring a ruined painting no one asked him to save—then stays up through the night teaching himself to draw boxes, spheres, cylinders, cones, and wedges.
What begins as a manic little crusade against incompetence turns into something less funny around four in the morning, when twenty bad cubes, one half-resurrected woman, and an empty ship start to look less like practice and more like evidence.
A darkly funny log about creative obsession, the humiliation of being bad at something simple, and the terrifying possibility that no matter how hard you work, nobody may ever see the pages you leave behind.

7 min - The Trial of a Word
A private humiliation. A suspicious word. A man forced, against his better judgment, to admit that “systematized” may not be the crime against language he believed it to be.
In this log entry, Captain’s Log investigates the tragic collision between intellectual vanity, dictionary evidence, and the unbearable burden of being corrected in private.
A short comic monologue about language, overconfidence, and the horrifying possibility that civilization may occasionally be right.

About Captains Log - The Narcissist in Stillness
From the publisher's feed
...diary entries written by a stowaway trapped alone aboard a massive late-1500s merchant ship stranded in a windless region of the Atlantic.
The narrator is a criminal; a grifter; a…
shapeshifter; brilliant but not wise; narcissistic but self-aware enough to be funny; trapped alone.
The crew is gone.
The ship is stocked with enough provisions to survive for years.
The ocean is calm.
No wind.
No audience.
No friction.
The narrator's true enemy is not starvation.
It is stillness.
