As the sun rose above the hilltops even earlier on the chronological map of each passing day, brighter, more significant, and more clearly radiant than he had seen in a very long time, or at least since he’d last opened his eyes during the daylight hours, he felt lost in a new world inherently different from the nights he habitually, if not obsessively, lurked in and leeched from in the hopes that he too, like Edgar Allan Poe or Lovecraft, could capture the darkest point already available to the human conscious and put them on display like the script of a Twilight Zone episode, for like the Twilight Zone, his work was not black and white for necessity, but for affect.
Nocturnalism-Blessing or curse-Can I-Can I-Be alive in the day as night-Please -Allow me darkness only when needed-I’ve done nothing-I will do nothing-Unless I have the cover of shadows
As the moon creeps above the snowbanks even earlier along the chronological map of the sleeping hours, fuller, more pale, and more clearly radiant than he had felt it in far too long, or at least since he’d made the faulty decision to open his eyes during the daylight hours, he felt blanketed by a kind of clarity inherently different from the days he desperately, if not grudgingly, waded through and fed in the hopes that he too, like the Businessmen and the joyful workers, could capture the lightest points and make them as available to his consciousness as the script of a Twilight Zone episode, though like the Twilight Zone, his work was not dark for necessity, but for affect.
