Dangerous Angels

Blood, a blink, brings to life still statues: pillars of faith, gargoyles of fable. They were everything that wasn’t, that could never be, friezes of fantasy. Now, unfrozen, they kill dreams with proof.

You think you fight for truth, but every proof of reality, realer than it was before, is your enemy. Your true champion is lies, lies that children may lie in bed and close their eyes, dreaming Hell-demons and Masters of evil are only real in slumber.

You save the world so they may forget.

Tell loved ones to close their eyes.

To yourself you say, don’t blink.

"Don't blink." I melt. I never have anything coherent to say about your work because you make me squee in incoherent thinky thoughts. You should do more writings, because they are made of win. Oh and also: Sally Sparrow!

Thanks! I like how the thinky thoughts come out as squee. Usually people do one or the other!

I loved Sally Sparrow, and that whole ep.

Well some thinky thoughts inspire squee, but then the squee impairs my ability to express the thinky thoughts. It's a vicious cycle.

That ep was made of so much win. I want more Sally Sparrow.
