Anxiety is a geode.
You are filled with wonderous things
That no one will ever see
Unless you take a hammer
And mean it when you swing.

Please do not think too hard about any sudden disappearances today. Please do not think too hard about the new glowing radiance of the obelisk. Please do not think too hard about digging into the caverns beneath the obelisk and what terrible things you may find.

I want to know the you from the timelines that were culled; I want to hold your wounded, evil selves. Broken, world-breaking, sleeping in unmadeness, wake them and release them like white doves

Caroline, Eileen, and Brandy stepped out of the stereo one at a time. The smell of fresh cigarettes and stale beer stains permeated the bar. The music screeched to a halt.
"Well?" Caroline said with a Cheshire grin, "You were just singing about how sweet I am. Go on, keep crooning, babes."

an obelisk appears:
it is a cylinder covered in perfect gold scales, the top of which is always just out of reach. peeling back a scale, flesh is visible beneath, bleeding and raw. blood flows out until the scale forcibly snaps back into place.
but it is too late. the gold is forever stained.
