People go through your life and you simply don't 'absorb' them.
Is it a kind of non intentional murder?
Or is it only a matter of nonexistence?

Another dismal day allows the outmost significance to my dreams.
My ambitions.
When shall I smile myself up to the sheer threads of life?

Illustration recreating character from a nightmare I once had. He had the appearance of a void a mile deep in the shape of a man walking in daylight. It was implied that if he caught up to me, neither of us would continue to exist. A mold for my existence putting me away forever.

Fred Smith - (American - born 1987)
Fred Smith: From This Disposition
Fred Smith (b. 1987) is a human navigating their day to day existence through the act of making drawings, paintings, and sculptural objects. Their work is developed with a sense of subversive irony, exploring societal norms and situations that seem off or odd.
By bending physicality and destabilizing reality, Fred Smith’s uncanny creations prompt us to ask complex questions about our surroundings and our imagination. The artist has a similar mission in mind while creating the work, stating that he’s “simply asking questions that I don’t know how to ask with words.” Molding form and spaces into open-ended queries, Smith delivers us to a site where “the world is a stage.”
The improvisational quality imbued throughout his compositions nods at Surrealism—a movement developed in post-war Paris that explored the unconscious, hidden psychological tensions, and dream states. Creative abilities permeated Smith’s immediate family, and he has made drawings since his youth. His practice deepened the summer after eighth grade, he drew constantly from National Geographic and skateboard magazines after an ACL tear forced him to direct his active energy into visual expression. More recently, Smith’s sobriety—he stopped drinking and smoking marijuana in 2020—has strengthened his vigor to make paintings; he observes that “the difference is definitely in the work.” Smith swiftly and successfully cuts through what’s “known” and approaches the absurd as a place to survey the destabilization of certain structures and systems—an illuminated unreality. It is through this choose-your-own-adventure template that we can conceive of new worlds.

Utwór pochodzi ze zbioru opowiadań Zima stulecia (2004), o których Bronisław Maj pisał: „dojmująco realistyczne i groteskowe zarazem, ocalają od zapomnienia ten coraz bardziej oddalający się, jak Atlantyda, ląd PRL-u”

The northern side of Furness Abbey and the land around it in the valley.
Furness Abbey was built by Savigniac Monks in the 12th Century and absorbed by the Cistercian Order in c.1150. It was the second richest Cistercian abbey in England (behind Fountains Abbey) and was disolved in the 1530s on the orders of Henry VIII. Today it's very well preserved and an English heritage site.
