A pattern you are likely to see from this author: when I have a dream, and I remember it, I will incorporate elements of it into my works. In this case, Brainy's dream(?) sequence was 90% fueled by a dream I had of exploring a colossal surrealist art gallery in the midst of a black landscape. The original dream also had me seeing a woman fall off a train and hold onto a cliff, yelling at her husband to help her. Her husband, along with her kids, just stared at her and then walked off. It was an odd dream. Anyways, yeah. Three chapters in, and the tale series name finally makes sense, don't it? ;P

Now you're finding your footing with this series. Still not something I'm into enough to upvote but better than the first part and more thoroughly solid than the second part.

Oh wow, you really did capture the dream-like quality in that penultimate part. This whole thing is dreamlike, viewed through Brian's eyes. (Do you know, I thought his name was Brainy Brain until part 2?) And I get to the end and go "Oh no", so I'm looking forward to the next one. :D

<3 I'm hoping to make that type of writing a DarkStuff staple, with stuff like URA-1902 and SCP-2729 in mind. I'm glad you like it, and Brainy Brain would've been a far worse name than Brainy Brian :P

I think I've found the "materials" to do it myself

Oh fuck.

To paraphrase Kiki the Ferret from "Sluggy Freelance", 'stay good, Brian! Stay good!'

I don't have a lot of hope on that front, I'll admit.

I emptied it into the sink.

Say what now?
