Our tales for today are...

Odd Encounter In An Abandoned Tunnel - The darkness plays many tricks on our minds. We can sometimes hear things that aren’t there or see things that can’t be. We fill in the knowledge gap with our imagination’s machinations and, at times, the darkness comes alive with terrors and impossibilities beyond the wildest dreams of any schlock B horror movie director. But there is a difference between the fear of not knowing, and the fear of not understanding. Sometimes the darkness is less an absence of light and more an opening, a yawning gateway into something other than. Other than our world. Other than our time. Other than our dimension. It can be a dark and distant mirror in which we faintly glimpse our shadow selves playing out our parallel lives on another plane… deleted OP

Storm Lake - The human ear is an incredible example of evolutionary ingenuity and intricacy. The layers of sound and the range of tones that the ear can pick up, decipher, and transmit as data to the brain is stunning. The ability to distinguish bird and animal calls, weight, speed, and distance of objects moving unseen in the bush, and friend from foe made the terrifying and violent life of early man a little more manageable. And most of those evolutionary advances are with us even today, even in an age when technology can seemingly do all. The ear can still pick up on things that your pods cannot. Like unearthly menace and otherworldly danger… from Clyde2003
