    This being - mere moments ago upon canvas and totally within squared bounds, under jurisdiction of artistic whim and intellectual control - has had (from seemingly nowhere), a red, rancid breath infused into his bellows of internal respiration. The monstrous heaving of his expansive chest creates a low and disturbing rumble about the shadowy chamber as well as a shudder throughout the whole of my diminished frame. Even were I no longer held fast by these tendrils intent against any escape from my imprisoning chair, it is doubtful my once determined but currently fading wherewithal should muster strength adequate to flee this Gothic horror.

    Even as I muse upon an improbable - impossible - escape, I sense a lessening of strictures upon my chest, my arms, my wrists. Vines, earlier an unearthly shade of puce and green, commence emitting a noxious vapour, dissolve and waive all further dominion upon the once captive and reluctant creator.

    It is useless, as in all endeavors to which hand and heart have been so intently set, that I should seek further communication with you, you so adept at creating an aura of nonchalance when only the raging fire of burning passion - passion for me - should suffice. You display less than a trifling concern over matters that are of signal import to me.

    I have been sleepless with grief over your tepidity, your failure to commit to what could be a life spent together in pursuit of an aim higher than that enjoined upon simpleminded spectators, whose frozen gaze sets upon a fleeting world that passes them by.

    If only you showed some heart, some fire. Winning you over cannot be done. It is useless.

    I need my sleep....

    I'm glad that everyone has gone. I am alone, at last, with the room all to myself. I like being alone and want to be let alone.

    Alone again in my thoughts, my dreams of a better time to come. My dreams are going to have to be waking dreams as I still have not slept. Five days. Five days, no sleep. At one time such a scenario would have placed me over the edge. Way over the edge and down, down into some huge black pit.

    I had a job. I had a mortgage. I had kids. Good things. Difficult things, but good things. I needed my sleep. I have nothing now. Nothing to give my life some decent purpose. When you have a job, you have a purpose, even if it's just to get up in the morning and punch a clock and -out the boss. Yeah ... in your dreams. Not mine.

    I don't dream 'cause I don't sleep. I need another cup o' joe ...

    For company. I am lonely.

    Joe will keep me compa ...

    Dear Nancy Drew:

    I really enjoy your comments! Thanx.

    Forbidden Planet is my fave circa 1950s SF film; nominated for an Acadamy Award in sfx, but lost to The Ten Commandments.

    I like blade runner especially the conversation he has with his maker when he wants more life and his maker says he doen't know how to give him his request. He wants him to be happy with the amount he has but it makes him really angry.

    It's a disturbing moment when he realizes his god isn't much of a god.

    You should never create a being with that kind of intelligence and expect him/her to be happy with a bag of life with a hole in it.

    Thank you, Nancy Drew, for the intrigue.

    I'm going to Google Blade Runner right now as I can recall nothing of the story and the premise you mention.

    Gratefully,

    A candle burns dully to my left,
    But out of doors, and such a ways
    Skyward, is the moon, a chunk eaten
    From a sidereal flank, a gaping wound ...

    Try taking melatonin about a half hour before bed - you'll sleep more soundly.
