Three university students have a wild time with romance, drugs, and existential angst in their first year. They develop a unique, soulful kinship while exploring the darker meaning of their pasts and similarly disturbing dreams. Strange synchronicities abound when they set off to explore what lies behind the curtain of the world we take for granted.
DREAM: a younger brother who never got to grow up lives in a dream, kicked garbage and got blown up – one of several recurring dreams that ends with Nick waking to the sound of his mother’s voice screaming hoarse in his mind.
[[Nick is a patient of the would-be psychiatrist X. Mercurio]]
Nick: the Avatar, an information gatherer, a spy, master of infiltration, able to isolate key factors remotely and sabotage; a catalyst. Disguise is a morphing personality that has a bearing on appearance.
Hermes: the assassin
Sophia: the handler, spymaster, androgenous
The earth is a theatre of flux, a fast-paced short-term opportunity. It is a proving ground for eternal spirits to improve their station or for dark spirits to redeem themselves. It is a marketplace casino where souls are captured from the unwitting by greedy spirits interested only in self-empowerment at any cost.
[[One look at Nick in his habitat]]
I can’t smell skunk without the insistence of mind that SOMEWHERE SOMEONE BURNS copious amounts of the finest WEED in a balefire to which [sigh] I’ve not been INVITED.
[[HE HAS ME]]
Kensington Market = Diagon Alley – a transport to another world within a city, a closet to an alien land. The surreal cloaked in the mundane.

-Into some next-level shit

In my dreams, it’s always the same. It’s always dark, even in daylight, and no matter how real a scenario feels, I somehow know that beyond the horizon is nothing—not a wall or a boundary but nothing, like a six-dimensional cube room in which all doors lead back into itself.
[[Memory Mystery]]: non-directional like low-frequency sound wafted into mind like incense in a cool breeze.
“You don’t know who I am or where I’m from. Quite possibly, neither do I. But I do know why I’m here…”
“I’ve been put here as a keen observer of the human experience, and I use the term “keen” very loosely. Keener than most, less so than some. Like Newton or Einstein, I’m just trying to blow the lid off the box, but I must admit that the line between genius and madness is fine indeed.”
Angels, demons, spirits, ghosts, superstition, legends, mythology, magic rituals, secret societies, and evil cabals.
Titans – the fallen spirits that have, throughout history, rebelled against ignorance to illuminate our state of existence – philosophers, scientists, poets, mystics, magicians, prophets, revolutionaries
[[Unfinished poems]]
We are a slave race, gotten out of control and outlived usefulness, so we must be reduced to make the planet habitable by other people.
The planet is viewed as a colony to be exploited for its resources.
–
Gold looted, files burned – with no answer or trail to the culprit
–
And down the great dragon was hurled.
Reptilian conquerors who rule with deception and fear

However, there are others with an interest in life on earth.
–
Life is a beautiful thought experiment by ascended beings of unimaginable intellect and angels of light – interdimensional beings of mind-boggling power and mind
[[Behind an angel of light stands a woman]]
Immortals, probably. Creatures that feed off human energy and fear – both chronic and acute.
“There are an astronomically large number of planets that are inhabited…”
“Gasp.”
“Oh, don’t gasp yet. That’s not even the interesting part yet. You should have already assumed THAT much to be true. But what is more interesting is that their politics are disturbingly similar, parallel to those on Earth. As above, so below, it seems. I should say, rather, those below reflect those above.”
Maybe there is no point, and maybe that is the point: Life is to be lived, not thought too much about.
