When you’re a kid this is that one aunt who gives you their undivided attention, and asks you follow-up questions that show they’re really listening, and you feel validated for the first time ever.
The cover of the album features a collage of 1970s schoolchildren walking along a suburban pathway, unwittingly approaching a black hole. The image was inspired by the work of the artist Valero Doval.
In case anyone’s interested, this illustration is the album art for “All Our Favorite Stories” by Dog Is Dead (often shortened to D.I.D.). I recommend listening if you’re into indie rock music.
Pshh. What… are you scared of entering a virtually endless, ever-changing, pitch black labyrinth of rooms, hallways, and and giant, abyssal staircases…? And all the while you find your mind deteriorating further and further as you venture deeper and deeper—and eventually attempt to escape—the bowels of your eldritch prison before it consumes you entirely???
This has me thinking about the fact that a wormhole could potentially open up in front of you while walking/driving one day and spit you out halfway across the galaxy before collapsing. Maybe even that some of those stories about people who vanished without a trace had this happen to them.
A warning. Those who speak too deeply and become engrossed in conversations too long will fall prey to the machinations of dimensional altering creatures. Beware the conversationalist, for they are an agent of gibbering star madness.
