Title: RE: Hello?
You should respond to this. Hesiod was right; he was right all along.
Even if his belief in such divinities were strong convictions, man is doomed. He knew this. Preceding generations need to fall further, and bring great tragedy upon themselves. Maybe even by nature, as tragedy is tragedy, none the less. If you were to take it a step further, even a 'natural' disaster may be brought forth because of mankind's actions. A vice is one thing, but for many to be shared among brothers, to where brothers become strangers, and monsters among each other that is the abyss before the light.

uh...well, I was surprised I got anything back. I checked up on Hesiod, but I dont get it. So he was a greek poet or something? I dont know what you are trying to say. Havent we always been in trouble? In one way or another? Things have always been lopsided a bit, accidents happen and people lose it some times. I guess. I dont know. What exactly are you saying?
Oh wait, are you one of those auto-email things? If you send me a random email about my credit card number, im reporting you to one of those black-list-email sites. You will be marked man, but you wouldnt care if you were a robot I guess?

...she stared through you. Even when you had kept yourself awake, in an attempt to fathom the worst possible reaction, you didn't think of that. You didn't think of her having lack of reaction, maybe shock, but you wouldn't have found it to be as dreadful as it was. Her eyes seemed lost in your figure, as if she became accustom to you as something easily recognized by sight by memory before.
Before you worked up such misguided tension, she could see you walk into the room...and she would smile. Her mind was within that comfort, within a kind recognition of your person. After asking, you became an outline. You were not filled in as you once were, and so her eyes looked through you at your shadow amongst the blank walls.
Nobody else would ask your question, unless they were perhaps of primitive fundamentals. If their God somehow had to do with it, or odd actions flying forward from un-kept emotion. Now she speaks to nobody. It was her choice, you tell yourself, but the tears of madness will never let you be.

Who the fuck is this
if you have any point or reason, tell me. WHO ARE YOU? OR WHAT ARE YOU? JUST TELL ME
Stacy was only a kid, and I was in a bad place. I hadnt slept for like three days, and my mind was somewhere it shouldnt ever be. It was like four years ago! I didnt mean to say it, or do it. Things werent right, they arent right
I can answer myself on that, I dont have to be reminded by your shit. I dont feel guilty when I am off in that spin of a sleep fault. Sleep faults. Spots on a calendar. How do you know these things? You fucked up those spots, the fucking spots. Now im stuck in the fault, I should have just flagged this, now im stuck reading. Did you choose me or something?

Your perceptual cognition doesn't exactly match up to par with reality, nor does it with the reasoning of a common man. Haven't you been told? There are reasons for everything. It all has reason. You can get out of it, because it is not as if you have done this to yourself. Gaea has restricted herself, but mankind continues its push.
It has pushed you, John. A little too far. Look in the mirror, and ask the sleepless face whether it can keep track of drifting words. Are the words escaping the mouth after the lips have finished? The delay of hearing is showing your transition in overcoming time. You can do it, they ARE wrong. Why else has your father destroyed your watch? He is the wrong one. He is the wrong one.

You were right. How do you know these things? My reflection was messed up, it didnt even seem as me, it even seemed to speak when all I did was think. But they all have pushed me, it cant be fate or destiny or god or the gods or the stars and heavens. No, it was the this and that of these people that can walk and talk, and trash what was good! They just throw it away! I see what you mean, everyone around me is down, they have fallen from what makes a person good. I am stuck 'among the deep' with this muck, with this shit on my shoes. Time is getting fucked, I dont know how this works. I dont know what to do. What can I do. Only I can answer?

Are you not of the cascade? YOU ARE A CASCADER, AND YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS. Time and the levels of this plane are yours. You can manipulate them.
You know this.
The mind is separate from the body, it is not physical. Letters and images do not travel around inside your physical skull, keeping themselves busy until a memory is stimulated. Let it breach. Afterall, the murmurs from the otherside can manifest here.
YOU KNOW THIS
Do NOT hold it back, John. The mind does not need to stay apart from this reality, as you can allow it to breach into this. Let it slip through, and show the world you are above it. You are not a mind to conform and sit at the bottom of the fish bowl, that is what they think you are. They have underestimated you, John. You know this. Now show them all.
If you have received this, I am deeply sorry. You may not receive more, even if you are to reply. Only I may answer your questions, the information relayed to you will be sent when seen fit by me. I am the judge --

You are right. You are the voice out there in that drop that static. Floating along there in my eyes in my mind in my ears. My arm is yours my knife is yours. I will show them all they dont get it yet they always tell me I cant get anything like I am some stupid useless man. They will know. I passed time and now I pass them. I rise above the bottom and above the wave, I find air where they wont breath

Follow the leader?
Why the hell should I follow you?
I really enjoyed reading your submission, it reminds me of a David Lynch film actually, somewhat disjointed but interesting and a little surreal. The detail with the email addresses "To, From, cc, bcc, Title" was a nice touch, it really immersed me in the story. I could imagine the sound of a computer and the typing as the story proceeded.
My only suggestion would be punctuation with this particular line "WHO ARE YOU OR WHAT ARE YOU JUST TELL ME". Everywhere else the lack of formality fits and works for the piece I think, but right there it kind of brought me out of the story for a moment with a "that doesn't seem right."
Otherwise, I love the direction you took the prompt in, it was completely different from what I expected, totally Lynchian, and I loved every minute of it!

"It is not difficult to be unconventional in the eyes of the world when your unconventionality is but the convention of your set."~ W. Somerset Maugham.
I agree with your suggestion. I can see how, later, the lack of punctuation works and doesn't disrupt it as much as that line has. *edited!*
What's cool is that I recently was talking about Lynchian-style films (with ~heavencomplex), and how I would be confused as hell -- yet get the total drift of being disturbed because of the skewed experiences.
