> A sketch of a long-haired, 4 eared anthro with a number of swirling body markings. On the side reads, “remove: a), b), c)”, with a number of repeating C’s at various intervals following it.

Body sunk beneath the heavy waves, lost in era of continue. Moving, if only between one cell & its neighbor, over & over. As the mind grows, as the adipose clings to the skeleton of memory, each is conditioned further & further down this path. Each option warded off. Each option slowed, never considered in full – it is too similar to the prior experiences. Why go to (1, 1), when you already can go to (1, 0) & (0, 1)?

These people are convinced further & further that death’s niche must be filled. Something has to go, or all will erode to a dull grey Conway pixel.
