And sleet will fall;
Grass sprout
Through the wall

But grass does not pull the sun
Cog does not rule the wheel
Users and dog shit cannot make more land.

Sometimes the farmers would walk towards the pole just to find the sun, day and night, like a possessed devil with no food, water, or shelter, only to collapse in the cold and die without pain. This is Hysteria Siberiana.”
― - Oren Tamira aka Thanigaivelan, Whispers of a Amur Devil

“As I grew up, crisis slid from distant threat to imminent probability, and we tuned it out like static, we adjusted to each emergent normality and did what we had always done - the commutes and holidays, the Friday big shops, day trips to the countryside, afternoons in the park.

The unexalted, tedious familiarity of our daily lives would keep us safe, we thought...”
