Don't Go Gazing

by Kimberchance

This is a copy of something I’ve written and posted all over the internet. The websites, subreddits, and Discord servers relating to the hobby have long been found and shut down. There aren’t many of us anymore, let alone those both young, sane, and tech-savvy enough to navigate the internet, but I know for a fact that all of my old friends that may or may not still “gaze” still frequent these sites. For obvious reasons, I’d rather not go back into direct contact with them.

This is also a general warning for anyone in the state of Utah: Do NOT go gazing near Park City.

Gazing only has three rules that are actually quite outspoken: You only have a few hours to watch and wait for something exciting. You cannot leave any sort of evidence of your presence. You can never go back to the place you’ve already been. Gazing is a short-lived hobby, and it’s well understood that anyone who breaks these rules or goes homeless trying to find new places to watch winds up jumping down the rabbit hole and getting caught. I never did, not until last night.

Ensorcelled in the Earth

by EmpyrealInvective

It speaks to me at night sometimes. Most nights I lay bathed in the empty glow of light from my phone, waiting for a message or comment to invalidate the sense of loneliness that has infused every aspect of my life since I got the news. I've lost whatever spark was there that brought light into my life. I don't feel at home in this world anymore. Sometimes the Voice is the only time I hear someone talk some days. The Voice is patient; it never speaks out of turn. It always waits for that precise threshold between the waking world and a fitful night of sleep to speak those honeyed words to me:

“I’m here, waiting.”

I wake up and rush to the bathroom. I manage to make it to the toilet before the sickness spews out of me. It’s small victories like this that make the days worth living for. The first few times I had to wash the bedsheets and steam-clean the floor because I wasn’t prepared, but now I have mastered the ritual. Get to the bathroom as soon as you wake up, flush the contents without looking at them, try to ignore the growing fear that something (else) is terribly wrong. No fuss, no muss. There’s no need for doctors, I already know how sick I am. I’ve perfected the systems: Vomit in the morning, wait two hours before eating unless you want to lose it minutes later, go to work, and wait for something to change. Wait for it to eventually get better. I know nothing is going to change, so that’s why I decided to seek out the source of the Voice.
