The Nothing [True Story]
This is a satire post of the lurking power behind the blinding forces hidden under my garden. Enjoy.
Where I come from in the north, we used to have exquisite gourmet rocks. Only now.... now they're all gone.
Near my home, there used to be a beautiful lake.
But then... then it was gone.
Did the lake dry up?
No, it just wasn't there anymore. Nothing was there anymore, not even a dried up lake.
A hole?
A hole would be something. Naw, it was... nothing. And it got bigger, and bigger!
First there was no lake anymore, and then finally... no rocks.
They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were.
My little friends: the little man with his racing snail, the nighthob, even the stupid bat. I couldn't hold onto them. The nothing pulled them right out of my hands.
I failed.
Listen, the nothing will be here any minute. I will just sit here and let it take me away too.
They look like good strong hands, don't they?
These photos represent my adventures in digging out the trumpet vine that has been invading our yard year after year.
Fortunately, things are looking a little bit better now.
Make a wish. Count to three...
It's like The Nothing never was!
Photos in this post are my own original snapshots from my camera. Text in this post was written from the verbal lines in scenes from the film The Neverending Story, one of the best fantasy movies ever made. You can view one of the featured scenes as shared freely on youtube in the clip below.

I fear I have joined the forces of beyond. with the nothing
because I've always liked trumpet vines haha
Wonderfully creative post. I really enjoyed it! and its been too long since I watched The Neverending Story I'm motivated to take time to enjoy it again :)
I like them too, just not in my lawn, and strangling our trees. In fact, I feel guilty because I took a root cutting last week, and... it is already growing bigger.
