Wandering in Imaginary Lands [PART II] - Improvised drawings and an improvised story to link them all.
The Dudes Farm : following Will-to-Evade, right into troubles.
Hello !
Last time (here )we saw how my unreliable companion, Will-To-Evade, left me alone in Imaginary Lands, right in front of a strange structure, freshly appeared from nowhere.
I wasn't really feeling comfortable while looking at that house, and even less now I realized how high in the skies that thing was standing.
Imaginary lands always tend to make distance perception a bit sketchy... Goals reveal themselves to be always farther than you'd thought at first glance, and - of course - obstacles a lot closer.
The Moon House was sitting at the top of what seemed to be a much longer and higher pillar than I first thought.
No, really...
I didn't want to climb that...
Unfortunately, I couldn't see any way to leave that place without my good old silly Will-to-Evade. It seemed I was programmed like that.
So, finding that little pest was now my top priority. And last time I did see it, it was running down there...
Yes... Quite a distance.
I had to walk some time before reaching the foot of that tower. Each step was making myself a bit more uncomfortable.
That good old ground that was sustaining our last time met twisted trees was now supporting a crazy structure. I could have swore its roots were from the same kind of our tree friends.
But what kind of madness did take control of its growth ?
Anyways... With that door up there, it looked like it could be an entry to the Moon House.
What ? Who said that ? I was standing still, petrified.
Coming from the structure, the voice sounded mechanical.
Heart beating hard, I hid, observing the insane building and its logic.
A constant flow of passive sitting human dudes was incoming, a few individuals were regularly picked-up by mechanical claws and then replaced by other dudes.
Screw that Moon House !
I'd never enter that horrific Dudes Farm !
No way !
I'd just have to find Will-To-Evade, and go back home...
But... What the...
"What are you doing ?! Stupid idiot part of myself ! Don't go there !"
Will's blurry silhouette was running right into troubles... And once more I couldn't prevent myself to follow the same path.
I started to run after Will, shouting "Stoop !"
The mechanical voice was the the last thing I heard before something hit me hard...
One last memory of the whole crazy place slowly faded to black behind my blind eyes.
blinking...
I didn't really know where I was lying now, but I was feeling some presence. Close.
"Mouth2(smile)"
said the mechanical voice.
Back to darkness...
"Eye(close) !"
and even : "Eye(close, close, close, and close !)"
More comfortable !
"Agreed !" confirmed Will- to-Evade, lying next to me.
That's how I finally found that hated part of myself, and realized how good it was not to be too divided.
It would have been a lot better if we weren't facing the worst thing we'd ever had to flee from, but...
... You know...
... That's another - still unknown, unwritten and mostly not designed - part of this weird story ! ;)
Thanks for reading, folks :)
That was some good fun, even if I have met some problems due to bad support choice while drawing. It took more time than I had estimated and one of the drawing didn't make it to the final post version. Lesson taught : I'll know what not to do for the next part.
Now, considering what I'll have to do for the next part : I must admit that I'm a bit scared by how to handle what's to come...
Because...
Weirdness is coming !
Yes. Again.
Farewell, and have Fun ! :D

Maravilloso simplemente bello Saludos desde Venezuela
Muchas gracias por el cumplido ! Me alegro de que te guste :)
You're always posting at a time I miss your post for sure! I need a kind of alert... I love your abstract story, today it reminded me somehow of Neuromancer. The images come alive and fullfilled with so much meaning.
Thanks, @patschwork :)
I usually try to finish my week's stuff for the next thursday, which actually ends in posting saturday or sunday...
Seems the next part will follow the same path :D
Neuromancer... Was it from William Gibson, one of the cyberpunk style's dads ? If yes, I remember I read it a looong time ago, but not so much memories left about the story though it could have left some inconscious influence years after :D
I'll give it a new fresh reading if I find it in my old pile of books :)
