"It seemed to be a living, creeping color, pulsating with a malevolent energy..."

About the story

Disappoint in not enough to describe my feelings.

I feel like I'm blocked under a huge building about to collapse at any moment and a huge piece of the support pillar just came off...

...that's how i feel right now.

This is a fucking nightmare. The worse possible thing who could have happen, this is how a democracy die. The outcome of this incident will be a huge shitshow. I don't care about political sides, republicans, democrats or whatever. The only one who will gain from this incident are the extremists facitons.

There's a little place in hell, in a pit covered with rusty nails and shit, dedicated to people that ruin perfectly good books for shitty reasons.

If someone thinks they can treat a living animal as a mere push toy just for fun and to post some content on his social, then I won't shed a tear if said animal will decide to show them exactly how its species has managed to survive natural selection all this time.

Dragan Bibin is a Serbian painter known for his work that explores themes of the human condition, particularly the darker aspects of human psyche and the struggles, fears, and anxieties that humans face. His art often involves the use of animals and eerie interiors to create a sense of unease and isolation. Deimos was the god of terror in ancient Greece, he was the son of Ares and Aphrodite, and the twin brother of Phobos, god of horror.

With this work I am exploring terror, rather than horror. The distinction was first characterized by the Gothic writer Ann Radcliffe. Terror is characterized by “obscurity” or indeterminacy in its treatment of potentially horrible events; it is this indeterminacy which leads to the sublime. She says in her essay that it “expands the soul and awakens the faculties to a high degree of life”.
