Field Notes from Somewhere

I like the image of streetlights over a 'soulless' suburban street in Pebble Lane. I watched a video once about how wide streets with very few structures or trees can come across as eerie compared to ones where people feel more 'enclosed'.

'welcome to firhaven' is interesting too - I wonder what supernatural creature is about to crawl through the cardboard maze <.<

The imagery in this thread kind of reminds me of YouTube videos exploring dead malls. I find them eerie but also somehow fascinating - there's so many things people leave behind for years without anyone cleaning it up. But there's no one around, so the clutter conversely feels spooky :3

@Liminality thank you for another comment!
that "soulless street" vibe is exactly what I was aiming for, so I'm glad it came through.

and firhaven is kind of based off a old weird game idea I had, so I'm just using small pieces from that :p

really enjoying the sense of ambiguity / liminality in all of your poems so far! I'm especially intrigued by how your narrative voice takes on this observational, spectatorial role in a lot of these poems -> "before anything happens" is a really good example of what I mean, like with the somewhat ominous descriptions of the door.

I'm excited to see how you keep exploring this suspenseful overarching atmosphere; wishing you the best this napo!

@cocteau thank you so much for your comment! :D

long day today, kinda just showing up

but I'm glad I wrote something
