Toxic Illusions Rework

9/8/2015

After some deliberation, and a tad bit of feedback, I have decided to rework the Toxic Illusions story. There are a lot of little changes I need to make, atmosphere shifts, and plot devices that need to be implemented. I was too rushed when I was working on it originally so I feel it's my duty to correct the product. Also, there will be a large addition to where it left off, wrapping up this portion of Agent Shades solo journey. So, for now, you can read over what is there, because soon I will unleash a version much darker and more impressive than before. Go, read thy work, acolytes. Witness the great upheaval of dimensional balance.

QUOTES I ADMIRE
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." - from the Wilderness Act, 1964

"I owe my solitude to other people." - ALAN WATTS

“I think I could turn and live with the animals, they are so placid and self contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition;
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;
Not one is dissatisfied-not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is responsible or industrious over the whole earth.”
― Walt Whitman

"In the ancient world, people placed heavy stones on the graves of the dead so their souls would not wander and inflict the living. I always thought this was simply the practice of superstitious and primitive people. But I was about to learn that the dead can hover on the edge of our vision with the density and luminosity of mist, and their claim on the earth can be as legitimate and tenacious as our own."

- Dave Robicheaux (In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead)
