I've experienced success with intermittent fasting twice in my life, the second time intentionally.
Back in 2011 I made the decision to enter residential training in meditation at the Rochester Zen Center. This was a new lifestyle with a rigorous schedule and plenty of physical exercise. I hadn't gone into this with the intention of losing weight, and in fact had never seriously considered a "Diet" before, but within the first six months we noticed my weight had dropped from above 300 to the low-mid 200s. I don't know what my weight was when I left in 2015, but I imagine it was around 200.
Years later when I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, most of that original weight had returned. When I considered the factors on my weight during training, it occurred to me that I had (without intending it) been practicing IF by following RZC's training schedule. Breakfast was at 7:30 am, followed by lunch at noon. Dinner could be taken between the end of work at 3pm and the evening sitting at 7pm. While you could go outside on your own time and eat, most of the time it was practical to just eat at the Center. Most often I did eat dinner immediately after work at around 4pm, suggesting an eating window of ~9 hours.
When I was diagnosed with diabetes I was living alone and working at a desk. My chronic depression had kicked in months prior. Like a lot of people I've used food to distract myself from the pain. But my physician was telling me that I had this serious medical condition and I couldn't do nothing. I remembered losing my weight during Zen training and felt that was enough to try intermittent fasting. I had tried calorie counting and knew that lifestyle wasn't for me, but I knew how I'd lost weight before.
I didn't post to intermittentfasting at that time but my PCP had arranged for me to take to a nutritionist. I'd started working with the Fasting Tracker app, 16/8 (excluding breakfasts), and begun seeing improvement when I informed them. They both approved of what I was doing, and by the spring of 2022 I was down to around 230lbs from over 300. After several weeks I decided I would modify my diet to fast entirely 2 days out of 5, thinking this would help to stabilize my blood sugar levels. I liked how that felt to fast for 50+ hours on the weekends.
My physician told me at the time I was a model patient for managing diabetes and that if I continued as I was doing he expected me to be able to stop taking metformin entirely after my next check-in. However, my work for my new employer would inspire a nervous breakdown a couple weeks later, and my chronic depression returned. That effectively ended my second experience with IF.
Since then I lost my job, my unemployment benefits, spent my 401K, moved out of my rented house and sold my car. But on the plus side I've recovered from my depression and stabilized my material circumstances. Now I want to begin managing my diabetes again and lose weight.
As of this morning I'm at 285lbs and I've been using 18/6 daily for the past three days. Since I've returned to living with my parents, I take most of my meals with them. I first tried 16/8 until I realized that my mom had adjusted her meal schedule to give me three square meals a day
I've since explained that I only want two meals a day, which has been difficult for her to accept. Fortunately, at 50 years old my mom and I have a much better relationship than we did in my 20s and 30s, so I've been able to hold to my new commitment without too much stress.
Nevertheless it is still frustrating. I've reminded her that she was happy with my weight loss last year, and that both my physician and my nutritionist had been happy with my use of IF. She remains unconvinced, and has suggested that fasting is dangerous for the health of my heart. But she's begrudgingly accepted that I will follow the diet that makes sense to me.
TLDR: I practiced intermittent fasting last year after recognizing a similarity to the conditions of a spiritual residency I'd done several years ago. That experience of IF was interrupted by a mental health crisis. Now that I've recovered my mental health I want to begin following IF again. I began again with 18/6 this week.

He was in bed with my boyfriend around 2 am. My boyfriend went to work at 9 but headed back at 10 with permission from work to go make sure the cat got back inside. As he was approaching the area, someone called him to say they found the cat deceased on a lawn on Corydon. We buried him about an hour ago (3pm) and his rigor mortis was beginning to go away, which has me thinking whatever happened to him happened around 3-4 in the morning.
He wasn’t hit by a car. My guess is someone did something to him. His ankle was broken. No blood, no other broken bones. He was a completely healthy kitty.
He was only a year old. We are devastated.
If anyone was around the area at that time and has any info that would be great.

Hi, I've had two children in the last 4 years and my husband and I don't want any more kids, so I'm back on the birth control since beginning of the year. Also because I've developed heavy PMS symptoms (heavy cramps, bad mood etc.) that lasted half of my cycle up until the bleeding would start. With taking the pill they've been better now, but now I'm suffering of all kinds of other stuff: itching down there, loss of libido, occasional nauseousness and quickly gaining weight (1-1,5 kg every month!). Have to add: since starting the pill, I'm much more active, eating healthier than the last few years, but I keep on gaining weight. Can this happen from the pill!? I've only ever heard from that, but never believed it's actually true that you could gain weight from the pill...
Since I've stopped breastfeeding I've lost quite a bit of the "baby weight" that I put on during the pregnancies, but now I'm almost the weight that I've had WITH my baby in my belly. I'm lost!! My doc is also not taking me seriously that I feel not well on general and really heavy going about life in my body that's feeling (and in the scale) heavier by default every month. It sounds so superficial and focused on my weight, I know, but think most of you understand what I mean... and I just feel like there's something wrong and I'm so uncomfortable. :((((
I also feel like it's too early for my husband to get a vasectomy and we don't really want to go back to condoms...What shall I do?
Anybody here that had the same experience and what alternative for contraception did you use after? I don't trust those pill hormones any more... We can't take turns having the guys getting pregnant and then we also need to go through other hormonal crap because of contraception ...That's so unfair and sometimes it just sucks for us women!

Not sure whats going on with my PC man. Its my very first build and everything was going great for like 4 months. I'm new to all this so forgive me if i don't make any sense here.
Recently i came back from an holiday and found YouTube wasn't working on google chrome which is my default browser. I was getting a green screen and random flashes too. It didn't seem to be a problem on Microsoft edge initially but eventually that too started having issues if i recall.
​
I did whatever i could find on forums for people having a similar problem. I updated my drivers and restarted my PC in case a previous driver update was corrupted. The only thing that worked was taking my hardware acceleration off. Also my steam wallpaper was crashing a lot too so im pretty sure i removed acceleration for that too.
Anyways its been a number of weeks and i find my pc seems to be crashing a fair bit. it seems to suddenly slow down and not responds when i click on a link. When this happens i minimize the browser, wait a bit and then go back on. Obviously this isn't a remedy but its the only way i can continue using the browser. Steam wallpaper also seems to be crashing. Lastly, its rare but my computer has straight up crashed and forced a restart. I got a blue screen with a sad smiley face with some text which i don't remember.
My friend is pretty tech savvy unlike myself, he tried to help me (seeing as he's the one who convinced me to buy a pc lol) but he's stumped. He seems to think its the fault of windows 11.
Games seem to be working fine btw. I played some Apex legends the other day and nothing seemed to crash everything's working fine game wise.
I downloaded MSI afterburner which showed my GPU temp at 40 degrees. Only thing worthy of note that i can see is that the GPU seems to stay at 600 and randomly spike to 2200 mhz. Im not sure if that normal.
Is there anything to be done? any advice? i want to ideally use hardware acceleration to stop these darn crashes.
​
I got a 3090 ti asus GPU. If you guys need the full details lemme know.
​
Thanks, any advice will be appreciated.

I’m 54f, 5’5”, highest wt: 242, SW on Oz: 232.5, CW: 187.9, goal wt: 165 (I’d be happy at 167-170).
I started May, 2022 & did the usual titration up from .25. No real side effects after the first few weeks (I had some mild fatigue and constipation), including no appetite suppression. I also didn’t see any significant movement on the scale until I hit 1.0.
I’ve never experienced good appetite suppression on Oz (I’m still hungry most of the day) and I could definitely eat past my daily calorie allotment. I stayed at 1.0 until about a month ago.
My weight loss has been slow (some weeks-long plateaus + many weeks where my average weight loss was .4-.7 lbs a week). Still, I’ve lost 54.1 pounds total in nearly 15 months I’ve been losing, and almost unbelievably, I’m about 20 pounds out now from my goal.
My doc is happy with the slow and steady progress I’ve made (as he feels this offers the best chance of maintaining my changes), and he also moved me up to 2mg about 1 month ago to keep the loss going.
Overall, I definitely feel I could not have achieved this amount of weight loss without Oz (as insulin resistance made it so I was simply unable to lose no matter what I did just before starting Oz).
I also feel that for all that Oz can do, it’s still just an aid, and that it’s still up to me to eat well (& because I still don’t have significant appetite suppression, eating mindfully), and to move my body regularly.
For those of you just starting out on your Oz journey, I think if you do all you can (eat well, exercise regularly, be patient😊, etc.), you’ll be pleased with your journey.
Best of luck🌸

As the title suggests, my skin has been a mess for quite a while. I started it when I was a teenager and used it for almost 10 years. I decided to stop because honestly, the idea of taking a pill every day was just obnoxious to me at that point....also, I believe it affected my sex drive (sex is much more pleasurable now). My skin was fine for about 6 months but I started to notice breakouts around June of 2022. Let me also add that I stupidly stopped Tretinoin as well around November of 2021 (only explanation I have for this, is that I wanted to see how my skin would do without....stupid, I know) after being on it for damn near a decade.
Fast forward to now, I'm back on Tretinoin (every other day) since October 2022 and my hormones seem to be regular (just got blood drawn last week). Yet, I'm still getting breakouts on my jawline and cheeks. What the hell could be causing this?! Could it be from the amount of dairy I consume? I eat it on a daily basis multiple times a day (I fucking love cheese). Or could it just be my overall diet since it's not the cleanest. I even added Azelaic Acid into the mix from March 2023-two weeks ago and all it did was break me out some more so I stopped. Should I just give up and go back to BC?
Below is a list of hormones that were recently (last week) tested and are in normal range:

• LH Serum
• Progesterone
• Estradiol
• Testosterone
• FSH
• Prolactin
• Hemoglobin
• TSH (keep in mind I have hyperthyroidism but take meds for it)
• Free t4
• Antimullerian

Hi everyone,
Wanted to post this before things go dark!
Been working on this for a month (though planning it out has taken a lot longer). Built a Ms Pac-Man replica using plans I found online except wider to accommodate up to a 32 inch screen (currently using a 27” IPS monitor however)
3/4 inch MDF throughout. Probably over engineered some parts but I’m a novice at this.
IL joysticks, IL buttons, and functioning coin mech from somewhere online. A pair of 6” car speakers with an amp and powered by a 10th gen i5 w/1060 3GB. Bought the vinyls on eBay. Color match for blue was close but not perfect. I went with a plexiglass cover on top of the monitor but have custom sized tempered glass on order as a permanent solution.
All in all I’m very happy (and happy to be done!) - I would change the control panel angle to a bit flatter if I could, and would also stretch the top part of the cab a bit higher (like 4”) so that the marquee isn’t so low if I had a do-over. I might build a riser for when I permanently place the thing in the basement bar area.
Marquee is backlit with a 24” led tube I got from Amazon. I had to mount the light wayyyy in the back because it’s so bright.
Bigbox and MAME software powering all the fun.
Thanks for reading!
Edit: my pics didn’t upload :\https://imgur.com/a/CUutakP/
Also one thing I’m proud of is the power: I bought a 14GA power cord and spliced it on the inside that I have a two-gang box that’s always on and a two-gang box that’s switched. That way I can keep the PC on all the time but turn the monitors and marquee on and off, etc. Loved this approach.https://imgur.com/a/1lFosk6/
Final (?) edit: the control panel is 3-part: MDF, sheet metal, and 1/8 inch plexiglass
Final pics I didn’t upload with all vinyl and t-molding on:

Good morning/evening secret Thaumaturgists.
I am proud to announce, after a year in development, the creation of the Thaumcraft Neverhood Community and its associated modpack/server. Not a day has gone by in the panoply of subreddits and many modding communities without sorrow over the passing of Thaumcraft's time. Gone are the days of public and permanent dedicated Thaumcraft servers, spent are those hidden communities, drowned are the decrepit servers and ruins are all that remain of such a golden age of Minecraft modding.
Until now.
It has been *quite* some time since a dedicated public Thaumcraft server has lifted its flag, and it is with incredible pride that I announce its resurgence. Enter: The Thaumcraft Neverhood.
You see, Thaumcraft's creator, Azanor, spent years recreating over and over Thaumcraft's wonderful system and engine, and while the particulars changed with each version, the essentials remained the same; Essentia, Marvels, Madness. Being the ultimate magic mod with no easy competition and with a depth to chew on for years alone, Thaumcraft nurtured an addon scene of quality content and magnificently crafted environments that inspired people for decades. But Minecraft changed, over and over, and with each version, Azanor had to work harder and harder, rebuilding from the ground up ad nauseum until finally it was too much, leaving his latest version, Thaumcraft 6, unfinished and lacking in his previous creations. It would then sit there, forever untouched as Azanor retreated to his own personal demiplane. Other teams have attempted to pick up the reigns with his permission, but developer hell, small crafting budgets, and other issues have kept those groups and completion of the translation in limbo for years. Even then, it would be merely recreating an unfinished version, devoid of the fullness of the experience (though I have nothing but respect for those brave communities and modders that try).
Therefore, being a general consensus of multiple communities of the fullness and total content/inclusion/addon-scene, this modpack aims to be the **perfect** Thaumcraft experience, within the 1.7.10 version ruleset of Thaumcraft 4. Accompanying Thaumcraft and a number of the highest quality works-together addon mods, are additional dimensions, each selected for excellence and thoroughness of development, a perfect time machine to that era. For such a magnificent magical system deserves an equally magnificent set of places to explore and things to do, no?
What I have here is the alpha for such a magnificent endeavor, painfully coded and blood spilt to ensure compatibility with everything. Well, most everything. I need a team of alpha testers to break this mod over its knees. Crash it, break it, boil it. Fill the Aether with seas of flux, create a calculator using only golems, see how many ender pearls a rift wand can store before it explodes. In short, I need tests, experimentation, and feedback, SO much delightful feedback. I've gone as far as I can with 1 person, and before I go public with a stable launch of a forever server, I need to anneal it to the public's inspection as I'm aiming for perfection here, not "merely good enough to load."
For those that are interested, I would greatly welcome any willing to join in to get the ball rolling, but with or without you, I am making this happen. For those that want to help influence its early shaping, come and join us!

Tl;DR
Thaumcraft's back baybee!....In 1.7.10
Thaumcraft modpack with its greatest Thaumic addons
11 total dimensions carefully chosen in a realm of planar chaos.
Need alpha stress testers before server goes live:
Server is planned to be a whitelisted RP experience, though the modpack is ofc open for those others to use.

As of result, it will not harm cancer patients, but it probably will benefit most cancer patients; (2) it’s mechanism of action (MOA) of using the patient’s own dendritic cells, pulsed with the patient’s own tumor lysate (regardless of which organ(s) the tumor(s) is/are located), to activate T Cells to find, destroy and continue to fight the cancer tumor(s). This MOA is not just specific to the brain, but should work for every organ in the human body. Then, require NWBio to complete post-approval Phase IV, confirmatory basket trials to validate the efficacy results, and to keep the tissue-agnostic approvals?

Lots of thanks to u/Killsode-slugcat for helping me work through this chapter with editing.

Memory transcription subject: Tevri, Venlil Romanticist
Date [standardized human time]: August 11, 2137
With eyes still closed, I stretched my legs and arms, paws pushing up against the inside of my sleeping bag. A sigh of contentment escaped my mouth.
I let the world in—light falling down in shafts that struck my still-waking eyes. No trees were around to provide cover from the rising sun that hung low in the east. The sounds of life surrounded me, occasionally being broken up by particularly strong gusts as well as a hint of something else.
My head turned to that hint, who still slept somewhat soundly off to my side. Last night Jack had set up his own sleeping bag less than an arm’s length from my own, citing our lack of a fire as the reason to gather closer to each other.
He tossed and turned, occasionally, muttering incoherently. At least he’s found some rest. After carrying me for over half of yesterday, he had certainly earned it.
It was actually quite surprising how well he had managed it all. His slim build compared to other humans that I had seen was betrayed by a hidden strength and incredible endurance. I suppose millions of years of evolution tends to allow such a thing.
Some part of me still felt bitter about what he had done the night prior to our last, but it was clear to me that his apology was sincere. I gave a quiet snort. He probably wouldn’t have carried you on your shoulders if he wasn’t at least somewhat sorry.
The covers of my too-big bag were thrown off and I sat up, holding my knocked knees with my paws.
Rocky rolling hills with low-grown shoots of grass lightly waved towards me. The nearby mountain range looked down upon us with its well-kept snow despite the summer season. Even three days of standing beneath them didn’t eliminate their wondrously looming presence.
I reached over to my nearby pack and grabbed my pen and journal. I clung to every thought that passed its way through my mind, marking them down the old fashioned way. There was something special about writing my feelings down on something physical rather than some pad or computer. It felt real in comparison to the alternative.
It was incredible to me how one of, if not the most dangerous planet to be found within known space was simultaneously one of the most fantastically beautiful worlds I ever had the pleasure of setting foot on. What a travesty it would have been had the federation actually managed to glass the biosphere. Ironically it had been the Arxur that prevented such a disastrous outcome. Those same savages had…
“Gah!”
Jack shot upright from where he had lain. He heaved harsh breaths, chest rising and falling as though he had just sprinted up the incline of a hill. I looked on with alarm, but didn’t think to disrupt the startled man. His eyes stared down at the dirt in front of him as he hung his hands between his legs.
“You okay?” I asked. He whipped to look at me like he had forgotten I was there. Slowly, he turned back to face the dirt. “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine.” He took a curt sniff and ran his hands across his face as he took a deep sigh.
He was lying.
The restless sleep, the violent rise into consciousness, the obvious distress within those wild eyes—all signs of nightmares. It had been years now since I last worried about such things, but I knew all too well how difficult they were to deal with.
A thought, as intrusive as it was unwelcome, pushed its way through the crowded thoughts of my mind, forcing my heart to skip a beat. What would be enough to scare a predator—human—to scare a human within their dreams? Instantly, I shoved it back from wherever it had come. He needs you right now, just like how you needed her.
I gently crawled over to the distraught man and set a paw on an arm while he leaned forward. At my touch, he turned his head towards me, staring with those forward-facing eyes. “Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked.
A slight snarl of a smile crossed his face, but no answer came. Jack stood up and stretched his arms outward, leaning back and forth.
“C’mon, let's pack up and head out. S’always good to start out early.” He extended a hand down to me where I sat still. How could he just brush something so terrifying off so easily? My tail flicked absently I guess they always have been a rather resilient species. Why should they be any different mentally? I relented to his proposal, grabbing his hand and allowing him to pull me upright.
Breakfast—much like last night’s meal—consisted of dry pre-prepped rations. Without surrounding trees from which drywood could be scavenged, we were left fireless. The ‘breakfast bars’ as Jack called them were a sufficient substitute for warm food. Every meal with the human increased my interest in the cuisine of his species. I hadn’t imagined it would all be so wonderfully varied and delicious.
The bar itself was chewy, made of oats, filled with dried fruits and sweetened by sugar. Each bite gave a satisfying crunch as my taste buds reveled in the impeccably delightful taste.
After hydrating and filling ourselves with calories, we set off once more on the trail.
This time, I was actually able to walk properly, though less than an hour after we departed, I was left wishing that Jack could scare me sleepless again—that way I could guilt him into carrying me.
While we continued, I walked without thinking much about the placement of my paws. I worried for my human friend. His mind was clearly plagued by something terrible, but the answer of what continued to evade me. The only lead I had were my own experiences, and in chasing that lead, my mind wandered back to the past.
As I was dragged from our home without protest, Devra lambasted our parents. Velnik cowered to the side as he watched the ordeal, helpless with widened eyes. Dad practically had to peel my sister away from mom as I was shoved into our vehicle. The echo of her shouts faded away.
It was the first time my parents admitted me for predator disease screenings.
An iron grip held my hand and led me forward through the stark featureless halls of the facility. A glance over my shoulder revealed my parents walking along. They dared not to risk a look in my direction. Tears welled at the edge of my eyes as the echoes of distant screams shocked my ears and flooded my brain with fear-chemicals.
My tail wrapped around my body and my ears bent towards the ground. Why did they want to throw me in here with the monsters? All I did was explore.
The facility worker threw me in a chair within a purely white room other than the single large black wall. From the ceiling hung a projector that faced one of the three white surfaces. After the worker left, my eyes floated through the room, narrowing at a sight that practically screamed of its existence. Dark lines were scrawled into the furthest corner of the sterile chamber.
I didn’t have the time to think about its implications when the screen clicked on and the lights dimmed, enhancing the image before me.
The metal chair fell backward with me in it, creating a resounding clang that bounded back and forth across the walls.
My hands slipped and slid across the slick floor, carrying my body backwards. This scramble led the wall to smash against my back. Without a thought, my claws joined the countless other marks of those who had come before me.
A towering, onyx-shaded visage of the malevolent beast prowled beyond the edge of my vision, obscured by tears of terror that practically blinded me. The blood-orange eyes glowed greedily and its mouth was stuck in a perpetual snarl. Viscera of a horrifically familiar color dribbled down its chin from where the meat was in the Arxur’s razor-sharp teeth.
With a click, the sanguine show moved forward to yet another horrific display. Another click. Another. One more. Click. Click. Click. Silence.
My eyes were as raw as my bloodied paws. Their scraping and scrabbling joined me with the other souls who had faced this same experience. When the lights flicked on and the worker came back to collect me, I curled up trying and failing to back away. She stood me up, patting me down before pulling me from the room. Everything was a collective white blur, compressed into a single moment of unfocused voices until I heard the vehicle’s door slam.
The ride home was silent as I leaned my head against the padded surface of my seat. Shallow breaths rose and fell from my chest while Mom and Dad stared ahead. They hadn’t looked at me once since we left the facility—or even talked to me—since we left the facility.
Among the many questions I had, one clung to the surface of my mind before being swallowed by its sea of screams. Why?
When at last we arrived at home, I barely even noticed. Only when the door to the passenger cabin flung open did I somewhat rise from my stupor. A sudden surprise wrapped around me and pulled me from the car, dragging away from my supposed guardians.
In an instant, I was rushed to my room and placed upon the familiar comfort of my bed before being coated by two layers of warmth; one was the plush cloth of a blanket and the other the fluffy warmth of my sister’s fur. “It’s ok, Tev. You’re home. You’re safe.” My empty eyes had no tears left to give, so Devra lent me hers.
You’re home. You’re safe.
“Tev? Tevri?”
My repeated name yanked me from the memory. Ugh, I’ve got to stop wandering off like that.
“You in there sheep?”
With a grumble, I responded. “I told you to stop calling me that.”
Jack uttered a mischievous chuckle. “C’mon, let's get over this next hill then break for lunch. Sure seems you could use a rest.” Despite it going unnoticed moments prior, I now felt my heart pumping hard and each breath heaved just as harshly. A short break will probably do me some good.
Together, we crested the hilltop and sat down both our packs and ourselves. I greedily lapped up water from my bottle while the man beside me calmly took several swigs from his own canteen. The food he grabbed was a pair of packaged items that he called ‘pasta salad.’
The small noodles were coated in a layer of creamy sauce and mixed with a variety of colorful vegetables that I didn’t recognize, but just like everything else cooked up by these humans, it was delicious. The sweet, creamy sauce contrasted nicely with the savory taste of the noodles and the soft texture of the pasta paired with the lovely crunch of the vegetables made for a wonderful meal.
As I munched on my food, the wind lazily played with my tail. My heart drummed onward, steadying into an agreeable rhythm before finally, my breathing leveled out.
A field of purple flowers greeted us, climbing and falling with the rolling land. Down below us was the river we had loosely followed, bordered by nondescript bunches of shrubbery. Rapid white waters splashed up and against rocks, breaking the flow and sending up spray.
When together we finished our food, we sat there, enjoying the world around us. “So, Tevri,” as Jack spoke, I met his forward eyes, “we’ve been out here for two days now and I still know next to nothing about you. Why don’t you tell me a bit more ‘bout yourself.”
The sudden question caught me by surprise, but I tried my best to answer anyway. “There isn’t much to tell. I write stories and poetry about the nature of worlds I’ve visited.”
“Well, you must be one hell of a writer to throw around money like you do.”
At the compliment, I felt a rush of warmth to my face. “I—”
Jack’s calm demeanor became one of surprise in an instant. “Is your face ‘sposed to do that?” A pair of my paws clapped to my face, trying and failing to hide the spreading orange.
“Y-yes!” I squeaked. “It’s p-perfectly fine.”
“Huh, right.” He didn’t sound convinced in the slightest. “Well, uh, what about your family? You’ve met mine already, why don’t you tell me about yours?”
Just as the orange began to fade away, a shroud of mist met my eyes and my voice sunk with my ears. “I’d rather not.” The whiplash of jumping from a sense of contentment, to embarrassment, to sad longing was jarring to say the least.
“Ah.” He held his silence for a moment, allowing the blowing breeze and the distant rush of water to fill the space between.
“I’m sorry.”
“S-sorry? Sorry for what?”
Jack gave a huff. “You know it's funny really. You Venlil, us Humans. I never really saw it before, but even just a few days around you, it’s shown me just how similar our people really are.”
Again, wind and water.
“If it means anything, I’ve felt your loss.”
What?! How does he know? How could he possibly know?
He must have picked up my confusion before he responded. “After the battle of Earth I got used to hearing that answer of yours.”
Oh.
Jack rose, swinging his pack around his shoulders. “C’mon sheep, sun’s not getting any higher. Let's get going.”
“YOU—!” The dour mood was immediately washed away by my guide’s hearty laughter. Again with the emotional whiplash.
It was amazing how easily he managed to do that. Try as I might, I couldn’t stay mad at him. As I shook my head, I followed my guide’s motions and grabbed my bag to join him.
For a while we walked quietly, but once again, Jack tried to strike up a conversation. “So, you mentioned you’ve visited other worlds. What were they like?”
I gave the human equivalent of a shrug with my tail. “Some were better than others, but for the most part, they were quite beautiful.”
“You have any favorites?”
My ears perked up. “Oh yes! The sky cities of Nishtal were incredible. Dwelling among the clouds, it was a rather uplifting experience.” Jack groaned with a smile still on his face.
“That might be one of the worst puns I’ve ever heard.” In response, I simply chuckled.
“Nishtal, huh?” The smile on his face faded. “That’s the world of feathered sacks-of-shit, right?”
“What? The Krakotl? Don’t be dense now, they aren’t all that bad.”
Jack scoffed. “That’s easy for you to say. They didn’t try to wipe the Venlil from existence.”
“If they succeeded during the battle of earth, they very well could have. Not that it matters anymore. Nishtal’s skies are clouded by the ash of their once-lush swamps and their cities have been plucked from the skies. Their world died.”
Jack gave a gruff grunt. “What goes around comes around I guess.”
I was genuinely shocked at what I heard. The anger that began to bubble within me was not the same lighthearted stuff from earlier. “How can you say something like that?”
“They brought it upon themselves,” he barked.
“That bastard Kalsim was the one who brought destruction to his people and you know it. Billions of Krakotl were killed or captured by betterment. Can you honestly tell me, or even yourself, that any species deserves such a fate?”
Silence.
“No. No I guess I can’t” Mentally, I gave a sigh of relief.
With my tail, I gave him a gentle flick. “The Krakotl are functionally endangered now, you know? They may have killed a billion humans, but for each life taken, tens of their own were paid.”
My voice began to choke. “I had—have—friends among the Krakotl. If you think that the mourning you humans experienced was harsh, I just want you to think; how would you feel if less than a percent of your people survived death or capture”
These words of mine were followed by an air of silence. I wasn’t sure what it was exactly, but something I had said clearly struck a chord with the man. Unlike me, Jack seemed to ground himself in reality, but for the first time since I met him, his distant unfocused eyes made it clear enough that his mind was elsewhere.
The remainder of the day flew by beneath this same blanket of silence.
We passed from the wide grassy knolls into a sparse forest that was more brush than tree. The trail led beneath their branches and through the tall shrubbery, rarely veering one way or the other.
When we eventually stopped to make camp for the evening, the sun was still slightly above the horizon. The campsite was similar to the one we had stopped at on our first day. An old steel fire-pit was set in the middle and a steel food container lay to the side.
Even as we set up, the cold quiet remained.
Progress was slow. Jack usually did the majority of the work, but tonight, his movements were taken with less purpose than I was used to. More than once, his hands fumbled, dropping something only for him to robotically reach down and pick it up again.
Once he did finally unpack his belongings, he left to find wood for the fire. At least this time, I found myself less frightened than when he had last done so. The deafening silence of my thoughts was more disconcerting than the idea of any hunters prowling nearby.
Whatever I had said, it didn’t just strike a chord. No, this had shaken him. Not even those nightmares of his had affected him this deeply.
In much the same way that I hadn’t wanted to talk about my own family, it was clear that whatever this was, he had no desire to elaborate further. I did find it odd however that only after mentioning the near-annihilation of the Krakotl did he seem to change. Perhaps it had to do with whoever he had lost? If this was the case, then I couldn’t fully blame him for his hatred towards the Krakotl. Grief is a powerful accelerant for the fires of rage.
On the other paw, my poor heart broke for the poor avians. So many lost. So few left. When the news had arrived back on Venlil prime, I devoted every moment possible to comforting my grieving friends; to Dualo, Oqui, Icatl and Haiula.
For some though, the grief of their new reality was too strong. Several of my dear friends had been unable to overcome that grief. My ears fell and my head bowed. If nobody else would remember them, I would ensure I never forgot them. They deserved that much.
Despite the clouds looming over my mind, my ears perked up at the sound of footfalls and I turned to see a bundle beneath Jack’s arms. Minutes later, a brilliant blaze burned before us.
It felt good to have a fire again. The protective warmth felt like a familiar embrace. From my pack, I grabbed the same blanket my guide had lent me the day before and wrapped it across my body.
While I found myself shrouded in comfort, Jack prepared our food above the pit. It was yet another warm meal of packaged food. The smell of spice wafted up to the tips of my taste buds as he stirred it about with a metal ladle.
The clink of utensils against our metal bowls rose above the crackling flames. Their sun still peeked out from behind the trees, though soon enough, it fell and with it, came the night’s chill.
Countless stars that you simply didn’t get to see on Venlil Prime appeared in the night sky. A glance told me that I wasn’t the only one impressed by their appearance. My wide field of vision managed to capture nearly the entire sky. I wonder, which of those stars is home?
A gust of wind blew by sending shivers down my spine. The effect of the Wendigo’s story hadn’t been completely lost on me, but the terror it inspired had at least died down to a manageable amount. Staying near to Jack certainly helped.
Speaking of him, I’d had enough of this silence.
“Hey Jack, how would you like to hear a campfire story?” I asked, tossing aside the quiet that had covered.
“Hmph. A promise is a promise. Didn’t really have a fire last night to tell a story ‘round did we. Guess it’s only fair to give you a chance.”
My tail gave a flick of excitement at his agreeance. “I must warn you, this is a bit less of a story and more of a poem. It’s one of the last few that I wrote before my travels across the Federation ended. It isn’t quite as long of a tale as that Wendigo story you told me, but it means a lot to me.
Jack gave a thoughtful nod. “Very well, I call this poem ‘The Wandrer’s Curse.’”
“Across the stars we wandrers go, not caring much for threat or foes, The skies we see are not our own, But from them wonder’s always shown.
From Nishtal’s clear and crystal skies, To Fahl where golden deserts lie, And ‘cross the cradle’s fruitful lands, Our own horizons do expand.
It is amidst these very sights, That we the wandrers oft delight, For friends we seek and friends we find, Across the worlds of species kind.
Thru mountains, oceans and the woods, Where those long past once walked and stood, The wandrers seek to find the past; A simpler time, no clouds o’er cast.
Despite the friends which we have made, The clouds above us cast their shade, Upon the surface of our minds, And seek our hearts with chains to bind.
It is our lot to flee from pain, Brought on by smashing, lashing rains. Til weary broken and undone, We fall with legs which fail to run.
But such is life—that beautiful thing, That brings one joy and suff’ring. So with this final cloudless verse, Remember thee, the wandrer’s curse.”
At the end of my poem, the crackling fire picked up where my words left off. My eyes raised to the heavens once more and I realized just how wonderful this life was. There was something truly sublime about existing right here during this exact moment; under the stars, surrounded by trees the whistling, beside a warm fire that staved off the cold.
Sharing it with Jack made it that much better.
