once upon a time, in a galaxy really close to home

Brown. Why is this brown? This does not go with the other vacuous colours, it’s clashing.

Down. Why is this down? This won’t stream up with the other “inspiring” thoughts, it’s crashing.

Clown. She closed the door. On the clown. Who couldn’t read her tear filled eye rolls. Nor hear her questions, evidently. Who appeared every day at the door with another sign – which is what started happening when she “unplugged” from all other news sources.

      Sorry, I had to run before, but yes! Weird! It never ceases to amaze me. I happen to have seen you on another site, was going to visit and ask how you were, then I saw your post and blah blah. Ah WP!! lol.

It’s the Twilight Zone with enigmatic horror, great work, Vanessa. I really don’t want to know what the signs say. “Your delivery from Amazon, signature required.” Just a guess. 😸

  Thank you Steve!
  haha yes, Amazon delivery. (In which case I might have a few signs to send back…actually, I am sure I would with any of his signs…)

  Isn’t it? It was my brother’s, I found it while spring cleaning. Had completely forgotten about it, and was pretty startled when I saw it again. I am afraid I didn’t keep it. 😵

      I filmed it spinning as well…so useful as a metaphor! But it did kind of freak me out. Mixed feelings about clowns, as it might be obvious lol

        Haha. Ah, yes, could make a great metaphor! Probably a lot have mixed feelings. I own the movie “Killer Clowns from Outer Space.” I love how visual they, and the sets are. But yes, even though they move really slow, considering they are “killers,” those clowns are creepy too.

I love how this is so cryptic and yet packed to the brim with a range of emotions and things left unspoken that one simply infers through similar experiences.
