I just went down to the store to get some smokes. On my way back, there was this rat that crossed the road. A bike ran over it. It struggled and flailed and turned in a circle, its back was shattered, both hind legs useless. It somehow managed to scurry across the road on its front paws and continued to struggle in a pothole on the other side. It did not make any noise, or the screams were too ultrasonic for my ears.
Stuff I post. It is a stream, sometimes conscious, sometimes subconscious and sometimes unconscious.

Dream Diary accident edition
I just really wanted to eat Medhu Vada at Little Bite in Vasant Vihar. Walking down from Parijat to the Arcade, when I meet some building friends, and their work friends. Right at the Arcade, everything has changed. There is a new restaurant called 'RK's. It is a white restaurant with seating outside, and everyone is just sitting. I go and order my Medhu Vada. He says it will take at least 15 minutes to make. My friend says we need to go. I say no take your time, and make it well, I do not want chewy vadas, but well fried ones.
While it is being made, I see that there is an attendant who is cleaning up a leaky toilet.
Then, we are just talking, when two of my friend's office friends (unknown people, can see their faces), push me down to the ground to rag me. A towing van careens down the slope, turns around the roundabout, and straight up runs over me and the other two people holding me down. However, they die, while I am dragged away. There are big splashes of blood on the road leading up to me. My friends run down the road chasing the van and yelling at it.
I run back to the restaurant behind a row of parked cars. I really want that Medhu Vada. Friends are wondering where I have gone. I wake up.

Dream diary... taking notes to remind myself edition
TIMES - A reminder to use your time wisely. Not an acronym for anything.
Weed and Videogaming
Addiction is actually about social isolation and dysfunction.
The one Year Gaming Programme - taking a year to cut the faff, and unfriending everyone. Is a programme that is not meant to work in the sense that you stop gaming, but make you focus more on the people.
Part 2: Rickshawwalah's daughter
This was a very strange thing. A door in SIES opened up to a locked door, on it was an old sepia painting, showing "The rickshawwallah's daughter."
Then it was a series of handicrafts and different coloured feathers in muted colours though, blue, aquamarine, beige and brown.
A black and white timelapse video of a guy rolling near the railway tracks.
There was this one scene in school, with young children and blood on the floor. Someone is humiliated and paraded during an assembly.
One girl asks for a train to come back, woman engine driver gets down and say's "don't worry, I know they are watching me", but makes the train go in reverse.
It was just a mood board in video form I guess.
Then this other maintenance lady starts rapping against the establishment and their atrocities.

Call of the Netherdeep Volume 11
One group Rangu and Jazco went drinking, reminiscing about death and life, came across Question asking us about our teammates. Question gave Ayo a crystal ball. Rangu tried to wingman for Jazco and get the two paramours together, however his attempts were unsuccessful. We get the jewel box from Prolix. Ayo and company, Prolix Yusuf, Question, and all of us end up at Ankh'arel.
Prolix turns around to us and tells us "welcome to Ankh'arel"
It is warm here. We come out of a teleportation circle, and the room slowly begins to fade. Prolix says "isn't this place beautiful". Yazhi is a little hungover and is shielding his eyes from the light. We are in the courtyard of a massive building made of marble. Prolix says, "This is the headquarters of the Allegiance, my organisation."
Prolix invites us to meet his superiors. Question tells Prolix "Thank you so much for getting us back. If you need anything from the Cobalt Soul, please reach out to me or Jamin." Question bows, and heads towards the other group, they speak for a bit, and start walking Yazhi hears a message in his head from Galsariad, "See you around later then".
Ayo looks at Jazco and suddenly walks away even more rigorously Prolix turns towards us and asks us to visit the grandmaster. Alakritos asks us to join the faction after giving us brochures, but we are not sure. Rara, Woolf and me head out to the market, where we meet Prolix's ex. We try to scam some feathers from her but she gets angry and burns them to a crisp.
The others try looking for a temple, IDK what happen, then they all show up where we are at.
