Can you hear it?
Sitting there, in your comfortably expensive seats?
Shuffling about outside, resplendent in your finery?
The Apocalypse Suite is about to start.
Can you feel it?
At the edge of your awareness, the nervous shift in your seat.
At the base of your spine, the shuffling, scuffling of your feet.
Can't you hear it?
The Cellist twists the pegs slowly
The Flutist holds gleaming metal to lips
Can't you feel it?
The Violinist brushes the bow 'cross the strings;
The apocalypse suite has begun.

Not a whole lot to say about this really; The title comes from the first story arc of a comic book series titled The Umbrella Academy- it's quite daft, and very enjoyable. Anyway, the title of the story really stuck with me, and involves music causing the end of the world (it reads better than my description). Anyway, one day the above...paragraph-whatever popped into my head, along with the image. So there you go.
I'm not going to post again until next Wednesday. The past month or so has really taken a toll on me, mentally and emotionally, and I really just haven't been feeling very artistic or very creative. I know the spark is still there, but there's no fuel to burn. But I'll keep looking for it. I think it's going to take a few things getting down around here (like give myself the space to create) but I should be up and running again soon. In the meantime, I'll try to keep up with a tiny backlog of things already in the system, and hopefully get back to drawing.
'til Wednesday (if only I posted on Tuesdays...)
