Parallax (Chapter 1): The Runner

Parallax (Chapter 1): The Runner

A Story by Abishai100
"

A 3-part dream-scape 'misadventure' of the psyche, for imprints of ('normal') overground/Earthling vigilante-like heroics contouring for serious dark/deep abnormality/dogma.

"
A psyche-portrait, loosely inspired by Jacob's Ladder (Tim Robbins), in 3-parts/chapters. Thanks for reading (Happy Autumn, all)

JOURNAL ENTRY 1: "First dream-scape examination/experience in that world of parallax-consciousness, by myself, alone, wandering through as a Selfie-poised witness of darkness and shape-shifting imagery of the psyche's void, drawn (arguably!) from my overground Earthling masked underground hero-operative work(s) as a 'blood-diamond' smugglers roads intercept-man for Western banks intelligence excellence/infiltrations/heists; and while I know there's no real/actual 'tour-guide' in this parallax dark-dream world of parallax-consciousness, I feel myself wandering through it was a Selfie-swimmer, contouring my Earthling masked-hero life with this alternate 'universe' percept of some 'thing' unusual (not Facebook-like)...but that's become my challenge of interpretation of dream-sleep imagery, and I feel like an Earthling, Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Catholic American immigrant/citizen/dreamer, somehow part of a grand equation of mystery, and this begins my inception of the 'examination' of this parallax-universe for the Ego (Selfie-like)."



JOURNAL ENTRY 2: "This dream parallax-universe I'm wandering around in dream-sleep has some labyrinth and rooms and halls and inhabitants feel to it, like some housing for randomly-placed 'strangers' for me to encounter...and I'm to be walking through this mess as a silent hero-type, perhaps taking-stock of the psyche-muscles of weird fantasy of deformity or vertigo...and I note how in the varied rooms of the housing of this parallax-place, there's disjointed jaded soldiers and guerrillas sitting-around drinking ale, and surrounding all this melee is the presence of a single devil-character, a 'Runner' who's in mask and wielding an axe, moved by some carnal intelligence to send-message of the futility of the angst of rebelliousness, and I'm left in awe of the glassy-feel of such a place of inferno-linked kinesthesia (for doubt!)."



JOURNAL ENTRY 3: "This 'Runner'-man in mask and weird displaced gear of weird suited war-like antisocial stance and posture, wielding some axe for dark-message, is the centerpiece of my first (overall) percept of this parallax-consciousness place, and I'm not to get near him, for my own benefit, but I am to think why he's coupled as a nihilist-messenger in that housing-type dream-sleep viewed place of jaded/disoriented soldiers and rebels and guerrillas, and I'm left to wonder if the experience of the 'Runner' (with axe/mask) is some centric Satan-figure requiring me to differentiate things between order and evil knucklebones."



JOURNAL ENTRY 4: "I wake from this weird parallax-place 'examination' after my experience of evaluating the 'Runner' man (with axe/mask) and sit-down to some sanity-sanitizing world-exchange 'reflection' culinary-treat (Indian) soft/zesty luchi-bread to restore my sense(s) of Selfie-made place and my (normal?) Earthling life for deeds of blood-diamond intelligence work for bank-heists and heroics for eco-capitalism 'intuition' in the 21st-Century planet; and as I enjoy this soft/zesty (luchi) bread, I think about how my next-move or wandering in that parallax-place will elucidate some new 'adjective' for onside-IQ for divisions of sportsmanship and sloth (wow)."
