The Pantheon

Hanging Out With The Boys Jul 24, 2024

You know how it is.

Unauthorized Construction Jul 07, 2024

make sure to get all the permits approved by the city first. And by common sense second, I guess. You never know what stupid mistakes will be costing you your life.

Demonic Banishing, Step By Step Jun 15, 2024

And here we have the other side of the coin. The kinder, brighter side. The heads to our tails.
Let's make it clear; the demons in my tales are metaphors. Very brute force ones, I might say. The commentary on both sides of our societal coin should be obvious.
We know what good and evil are. We should stop acting like we don't.

Demonic Summoning: A How To Jun 08, 2024

Once again, we look at a coin with two sides. We dance along the edge, that tin sliver with the grooves. Perhaps by seeing both sides of this thing, we can get a greater grasp of its essence.
Also, disclaimer: we once more have a narrator that is meant to be disagreed with. This should be obvious by how I've crafted him, but I really, really don't want you taking what he says to heart.

Cleanup Crew (Rudy's Pt. 2) Jun 01, 2024

Some burdens must be borne. The public cannot see. The public cannot feel. It is our responsibility to do these things. Thus speaks the Auburn Rose.

Rudy's Cafe May 25, 2024

Rudy's Cafe. You might not have been there, but you have an image of it in your head. I've been to those places, these greasy diners, and they are exactly the way you imagine they are. A little bit less sad, though. But much more unhealthy. Your arteries will scream.
Anyways. This cafe is Rudy's. Who is Rudy? Why is Rudy? Wouldn't you like to know? Just listen, and all these questions will be answered...
Or not.

A Totally Very Normal Job May 18, 2024

A sequel to Stock Markets: The Things That Crashed:
https://www.buzzsprout.com/811181/episodes/14453149
Long story short, mysteriously appearing clocks are a thing. They're such a thing that entire industries are built on the back of such a fact.
We take it a step further. Industries are built of people, people who do work. What is this work? What kind of life can be made from clocks which materialize out of thin air?
A very cool, absolutely not weird one. That's for sure.

Narrow Horizons May 11, 2024

What is hope? Is hope always a dream of change? Perhaps it is, but the change does not necessarily have to be in the world around us. Sometimes the change can be inside, too.
Usually, the hope is both, and we just fail to recognize its second existence.

Mammon (Abyss) May 04, 2024

We forget his name, but he has never forgotten us. Perhaps we forget the ground that we walk upon, too. Or the air that we breathe. But does that mean that our connection should be ignored?
No.
Obviously, no. We should think about it from time to time.

The Spark That Lit Inferno Apr 27, 2024

Here, we follow into a world that is not, and never was. Perhaps it is good that it never could be. Good for us, for you, and me. Maybe.

The Schoolbell Rings (Abyss) Apr 20, 2024

One of the best ways to learn about yourself is to ask someone else whom you can trust about who and what you are. Same with societies, cultures, etc. We lose insight to hubris all the time.
That being said, perhaps we can get even greater insight about ourselves not from our friends, but from our greatest enemies.

Melinsk in Flames Apr 05, 2024

Oof. This one's painful. And not just painful in the sense that I've been missing for a month.
See, one of the problems here is that if you seek to find ways to make things non-sacred, you can find them. Cynicism, apathy can devour all, even your dreams.
Flames can devour dreams too, though. It's a balancing act between the two; the line to walk is far too fine.
Melinsk is in flames. Or was. Or will be. The timeline doesn't and never will make sense.

Lights Going Out (PSA) Mar 13, 2024

You should have listened to the PSA. I did. That's why I'm still here, behind you. But you're not. Not there. Not in your shell.
You should have listened. It meant you no harm. Nor did I. But the other thing...

PSA Mar 12, 2024

PSA stands for public service announcement. And that was also a PSA.
Usually, you should listen to these things. They're not all that frequent, and usually they're about something you need to be proactive about like boiling water.
Of course, this PSA is not about boiling water.

Lavender Peas Mar 05, 2024

"Eww, that sounds disgusting."
That's what you said. I heard you. I'm in the room with you right now. No, don't turn around. That will ruin the surprise.

Stock Markets: The Things That Crashed Feb 27, 2024

You know, it's their favorite thing. They like to do that. Sometimes it means nothing. Sometimes it means everything.
Our economy is overly abstracted. Let's be honest. The value of the stock market does not correspond with the health of the economy in as direct a relationship as we are taught to believe. Healthy industries can be wiped out by really, really stupid nonsense that sparks a panic. And then we all suffer.
Very nice system we got here. Very cool.
At least our stock markets are tagged to actual industries and companies, though. Not so much the case here.

Hearts Tell No Tales Feb 20, 2024

There is nothing more maddening than the burden of the clock. It has given us order and stability, but where has our rights over our own time gone?
We know where they went. To the same place everything we had went. To the same god.

The Sandwich That Stunned Hell Feb 13, 2024

It's quite an accomplished sandwich. Or series of sandwiches. Either way, you never expected that much from them, so it's just really nice that they were able to get this far and do so much.

Found Sandwich Feb 06, 2024

The natural character progression of any sandwich when it is lost.
I have always detested the idea of hell. I know, I know. Who wouldn't? It is supposed to be despicable. But we see it weaponized here, up above. You must be a certain way or you are damned. But how clearly is that 'certain way' tied to morality, and not just giving yourself the branding of a creed?
It's obvious. The people who talk about hell as a punishment in our world care more deeply about the victory of their identity than anything. Their master is cruel and cold, colder even than the demons in my stories.

Lost Sandwich Jan 30, 2024

We've all been there. It really stinks to lose something as simple as your lunch. It's terrible. Horrible. Someone must pay.

Oracle Destruction for the Mentally Deranged Jan 23, 2024

We learned how to care for them. Now we traverse the grooves on the thin side of the coin to get to the other side. I know, I know. We all want to be on the side where oracles are real, and they can make your ridiculous dreams come true.
We are here to bury gods. Sometimes those gods die in dreams.

How to Cook a Limoset Jan 16, 2024

I know. The question's been bugging you. How do you cook a limoset? Well, I'll tell ya. The Pantheon's now infringing on the recipe market.

A Beginner's Guide to Gloves Jan 09, 2024

We're back from our regularly scheduled Christmas break to bring you fine folks a heaping dose of madness :)
I know. Boring title. We all know what gloves are. I don't like them, personally, even in the cases where they make sense. But if you're here you probably know that the story is only about gloves in the most vague of senses. We all gotta learn, after all.

Unmarked Grave Dec 16, 2023

Moral of the story: grave-digging bad. Please applaud me for my bravery in spreading this message.

Souveneirs (Flight Twelve) Dec 09, 2023

We thought we could get through. We thought we could be better. But we weren't. Again.
That doesn't mean we can stop trying, though. If you can understand anything, understand that.

A Voice on the Wind (Flight Twelve) Dec 02, 2023

And finally, a breath of truth. We're all scared. We're all frightened. We all hate these things about ourselves. The only way out is through. Together.

Threat Level Orange (Flight Twelve) Nov 26, 2023

Mystery means misery. In the infinite possibilities of creation, there is something out there whose greatest desire is to destroy and eat you. Yes, you specifically. Will you cower, then? That's what seems the easiest to do.

Moral Navel Gazing (Flight Twelve) Nov 25, 2023

There is so much certainty in sorrow. It is comforting, almost. Pain, misery, all these things can shelter you from chaos. So sometimes you begin to think that they are your friends.

All the Fires of Hell (Flight Twelve) Nov 19, 2023

We would destroy the world, if only it meant saving our own soul. But what is more selfish than the person who believes themselves to be righteous?

Awakening (Flight Twelve) Nov 18, 2023

We would do anything for security, even destroy that which we make security for. We must recognize this in ourselves if we are ever to avoid tyranny.

Flight Twelve to Trenton Nov 11, 2023

The trunk of the tree is here. It took time, water, effort, and patience. But trees will grow. Now let the branches spring forth.

The Watcher Beyond Mirrors Nov 04, 2023

Never look behind the mirror. You might like what you find.

Tetris at the Bottom of the Sea Oct 25, 2023

Or the bottom of a lake. Or a well. Or a cave? At the bottom of a body of water. But that sounds a lot less interesting.
We don't know much about the oceans, collectively. We never have. Physical forces make the glimpses we get of the depths brief and expensive. It is no wonder, then, that we see all sorts of terrors in the deep.
Realistically? The ocean is just as uncaring about our existence as the rest of creation. But that won't stop things like this from being created.

The Hated Sentinel (Pantheon) Oct 18, 2023

The powers that be, the powers that be.
Who is saying that you aren't the powers that be, yourself? You say that the world is cold and cruel. You say that everything is stacked against those who are unwilling to exploit the universe around them. What are you doing to change that, eh? Perhaps your whining about the subject was nothing more than an emotional smokescreen, and you are just as much the powers that be as those that you despise. You are the same.

Get Rich Quick Scheme Oct 11, 2023

You know them. You love them. After all, the person espousing the get rich quick scheme obviously has your best interests at heart. I mean, com on, why wouldn't they? Greed is a virtue, which means that... which means that...
Which means that only one person is getting rich. It's probably not the person believing in the magical properties of their own being.

Just a Bottle of Mustard Sep 19, 2023

Booooooo. BOO!
That's me, booing myself. I've roadblocked myself, thus the delay in new stories. I had this whole tree of stuff going, but I paid far too much attention to the branches, and too little to the trunk. That might be a bit unclear, but c'mon. Unclear is what we do here.
Anyways, this is something I've been able to get done while working on my many, beautiful branches, even while the trunk rots away. Honestly just putting this out here so this thing doesn't die in the algorithm.

Oracle Care for Dummies Aug 11, 2023

You know, just in case you ever had to care for an oracle, and were dumb. It happens more frequently than you'd think.

Manilla Envelope Aug 04, 2023

Things look together in this graveyard, as they always do. They do outside of the graveyard, too, it's just that you get a better perspective on time here.

Disloyalty Jul 28, 2023

How much can loyalty be a virtue? Surely only as much as our masters can be selfless. Otherwise, is it not a sin?

Dusk and Dawn Jul 21, 2023

The night is frightening. But aren't we lucky that we can see anything at all?

15 Seconds Jul 14, 2023

Time is weird. It flows, but when you plunge your hand into the current, you change something about its direction.

60000 Jul 07, 2023

What? A number as a title? Look at that.
Anyways, this was crafted in the depths of covid, and was just sitting there, waiting to be finished. So here it is.

A Symphony of Toes Jun 30, 2023

We're back, and we're weird! Forewarning, this is a bit more gruesome than our usual fare. Not that much, since I've deliberately blurred the language, but it's still there.

February 26th May 31, 2023

Written, once again, by a dream I had.
I feel abused. I am less abused than most people in the world, probably. But I am still abused. A lot. Things like this come about because of that.
There is an element of evil that will never be able to be cut out of the world, the natural. February 26th is an avatar of that. This is nothing more than a lament. There is little to be learned from the cruelty carved into the universe, at least, little useful. That cruelty we cannot change. But sometimes recognition of that cruelty can be cathartic.

The Voice Strikes Back (Ashen Tongue Pt2) May 24, 2023

The worst part about mental demons is that they basically zombies. Except you can't headshot them. They just get back up again and again and again. The hope is, eventually there's just so little of them left from your constant attacks that they fade into a mote in the air. Nothing.
The worst demons, I find, are ones that you know you're not responsible for, but still feel like you are, someway, somehow. That false responsibility tethers them to the mind, gives them a truly unholy vim and vigor.
On a lighter note, I'm surprised at how similar the time totals are on this and Ashen Tongue. Did not plan that. Just a nice little surprise. Stop to smell the roses and all that.

Ashen Tongue May 17, 2023

A lament for a cruelty brought upon ourselves, by ourselves.
Power, unfortunately, is a reality. A gun is a gun. Blood is blood. When power is not distracted by the ghosts and gods of our creation, it does what it always does. It kills.
Gods are necessary. Very, very necessary. I just don't like the ones we have currently.
Anyways, have you ever tasted ash? I have. Short story, but I'm not elaborating. It's about as gross as you think.

Shore May 10, 2023

I hate this. Too long.
Also, it's probably not true. Bleh.

Lessons of the Auburn Rose May 03, 2023

This is just a personal grudge of mine.
You must always act with hope. Even when you cannot see it, you must act like it is there. Otherwise, how can things change? How can things get better?
You will not see the end. You will not even see your end. You will be gone before that. Stop laying back and rotting. You are a person. Act like it.
Personal grudge :p

Tyranny 1: Death of the Tyrants Apr 26, 2023

I promise I'll finish this mini -series. I promise. It's more important to me than the other ones.
Anyways, a person is here. By some accounts, this person shouldn't exist. Or doesn't exist. Or will exist in the future. Is that complicated? Heck yes.
But let's make it less complicated. What are accounts, anyway? Do you trust what other people tell you? I mean, kind of?
Accounts are just other people telling you stuff. And here we have a guy, flesh and blood, figment of my imagination, but real here.
It was one sharp snap. Ears bled. Not this man's ears. He was tyrant, left in a world where all the tyrants were dead.

Jailer's Dilemma Apr 19, 2023

Do you know the prisoner's dilemma? Well, this is the jailer's dilemma. Not even vaguely related.
Anyways, this story calls back to the Sisket, an old antagonist of this series. Basically, well, they...
Nope. I don't explain things here. I trust you're smart enough to learn from context. And if you're not, try. You might just become smart enough in the process.

Report 56 (Boring Summer Day) Apr 12, 2023

55 reports came before this. What were they about? Oooh, spooky!
Anyways, as the title, release date, and length imply, this is just a little addendum to Boring Summer Day. Perhaps the summer turned out to not be nearly so boring, eh?

Boring Summer Day Apr 11, 2023

It's not summer, yet. Curiously, it's not summer anywhere on the planet. It kind of feels like summer here, but then, well, we get these nice seven month summers that come along and suck the water from everything, and...
Summer days are boring. Let's face it. They are. It's the heat. It drains energy from us, lulls us to sleep. And then, when we're sleepy, we project the feeling of being bored onto ourselves. Because, obviously, we couldn't be tired just because its hot. We had to have some agency there.

Lemons Apr 04, 2023

Lemons.
I know. I already talked about apples. But trust me; they're very different fruits. It's like comparing apples and oranges. Or apples and lemons.
This story is about lemons. This summary is about lemons. Very exciting, all of that.
Lemons.

Encyclopedia Demonica Mar 17, 2023

Under what circumstances could you claim a life? What about a friend's life?
How stupid does a person have to be for the evil caused by their stupidity to demand their death? Is there a point?
I dunno.

The Truth Mar 04, 2023

"Whom do you trust? Do you trust yourself? You usually should. Your family? That's more iffy. Friends? Depends on if they owe you money. My narrators? Definitely. You should always trust them. They are always telling the truth."
- A notorious liar

To My Still Breathing Brother Feb 25, 2023

Ah, chains. There are many types we are wrapped in. Most of them are bad. Most of them were not placed on us by ourselves. Some of them were. This is often one of them.

Down the Road Feb 18, 2023

Beware where you turn, for it's just down the road.
What are we bewaring?
Do you specifically need to beware it?
Oh no, now we're back to the point of disbelief.
Oh no.

Do You Remember Them, Too? Feb 11, 2023

Implying, of course, that there was something to remember to begin with.
Some things...
Many things are better left forgotten.
Is what I would say, if some of these things are real. Good news! The troubles and difficulties we face in real life are a lot less nefarious. Still really bad, but you know. At least you're better off understanding them.

Fever Dreams Feb 04, 2023

This is...
I tried to...
I think I did it well.
Where was I going?

War Crimes Jan 28, 2023

I love how charismatic this guy is. Oh, how beautiful evil can seem. Oh, how easy it is to give up.
Very few people out there ever think they're doing the wrong thing. But we have to look around ourselves and realize: there's far too much wrong with the world for that to be true. Nature is cruel, but not that cruel. There is evil, but where? And how does it fester in the mind?

Recovery Program (Vigilance, Pt?) Jan 21, 2023

And there it is again, the ?.
Is this just a tale about how important information communication is? Is it a warning against the evils of the stock market? Or is it just a made up tale about nothing that will ever happen?
Yes.

What Budget? (Budgetary Issues, Pt2) Jan 14, 2023

This one actually has a part? Like it's a successor to something.
Yeah.

Lessons in Economics (Vigilance Pt?) Jan 07, 2023

Pt? Part what? Second time that's shown up. And it will probably show up again. It just means that, well, they're all connected to the same event, but the actual time... well, that can vary.

Blank Time Dec 31, 2022

Doing that classic Pantheon thing of investigating old(ish) motifs from a different perspective. Perspective's a weird, weird thing, and a lot of the stupidity we have baked into ourselves is a result of our inability to morph and shift our own outlook. Well, I mean, who can blame us. We are always just one person, after all.

Hipsodirvines (Encylopedia) Dec 03, 2022

Ignore the weird words. Making up words is hard.

Pawn Shop Nov 16, 2022

Oooooh, I thought I uploaded this, but I didn't!
I like this one.
I haven't been to many pawn shops.
Don't steal, kids. Unless you really, really need to. And your 'need' better be a need. All too frequently people confuse the words 'need' and 'want'. Very different spellings, kids. Shouldn't be that hard.

Budgetary Issues (Vigilance, Pt. ?) Nov 08, 2022

What's often more frightening than the bizarre is the mundane. Most grand scale problems we find ourselves encountering are the result of minor stupid decisions compounded upon each other ad nauseum. It's just the factors of time and information distribution that change these problems from mundane to eldritch in our perception.
But I'm not saying anything new here, am I?

Door Nov 01, 2022

Oooh, it's an episode about a door? Isn't that a bit boring?
Well, it's not really about the door, duh. Or is it?
I cannot tell you how many times I had to rerecord this because the audio file got corrupted. Okay, three times. Which seems not that much, but it's basically the only story I've had that problem with. Okay, that and one other. But it's just weird. Three times. Over a long period of lackadaisically revisiting this, saying to myself that I'm finally going to release it. Almost like this story is cursed!
It's not. Literally just annoying coincidence. That's what most bad things in life are. There's a lot of bad, irrational things out there, but we should never discard our own capacity for logic in our attempts to understand them. That's not the message of this story, but it is the moral of the story of me having to rerecord this so many times :P

Vigilance (Vigilance, Pt. 1) Oct 24, 2022

The job exist.
The job has reasons to exist.
What are those reasons?
Do you understand them?
No?
I thought so.

College Essay Oct 08, 2022

Some lighthearted stuff for a not so lighthearted time.
And yes, I came up with this whole thing in the shower. So sue me.

Hipsodirvines (Encylopedia) Sep 21, 2022

Yes, what you read there was complete nonsense. But coming up with words is hard, okay?
Anyways, hope everyone's doing well. Things are progressing unfortunately for the bulk of us, I'm afraid, but within the ever increasing layers of insanity we're smothering ourselves in, there is hope for the future. Maybe we'll uncover it.
We won't uncover it here, unfortunately. My encyclopedia narrator is nothing short of a grouch :( . It'd be hard for us to blame him if we really knew him, but then... if we really knew him, we'd have a whole slew of other problems.
I know him. Partially. Do not envy me for that.

Hotel Ymbria Sep 16, 2022

Like the Hotel California, except not. Is the hotel even in the state of California? Probably not. Would that matter? No.

The Nature of the Prophet (Pantheon) Sep 07, 2022

He's wrong, just so you know. But it's a nice theory.

Clock Strikes Three (Pantheon) Aug 31, 2022

Back on schedule! Or, you know, back on the last schedule.

Bloodhounds Aug 22, 2022

I've found this concept before, but it seems anathema to me. Industry runs in my blood. But, really... if what we work for is not for the betterment of ourselves and society, then why ought we to do it?
Not advocating laziness. I'm just saying, if your job is plainly evil, perhaps the best thing you can do is fail at it and leach off as much money as possible :P

Usual Place, Usual Time Aug 10, 2022

I think this was the Pantheon's tribute to pride month, or something. Thus the fixture of a 'closet' making an appearance. But you know. This place is this place, and it descends into utter madness real nicely. Just like we all love :P

3PM, Brother Spruce Aug 03, 2022

Real short guy. Couldn't be taller than four feet. But we let him ride the roller coaster because he's just really insistent on it.
Keep the name in your head, Brother Spruce. Keep all the names in your head as you wage the war of total absolution.
Keep the name in your head, too, dear listener. The 'Brother' will appear again, and again, and again. He usually won't give you his name, or even the sound that he is going by. But he is there, as much as SHE ever was.
Yes, She. Our Lady.
Things are always more complicated than you think they are.

3PM, The Left Hand Aug 03, 2022

Two for one here! Two for the price of one!
I don't know why I like 3pm so much. In terms of time of day, it's not the best, unless you live in a place that's cold, probably.
But here again we see wars. We do not ask today why we fight, but rather, how. The callous machines created by the amalgamation of our consciousnesses are all too willing to manipulate and those who are most vulnerable into deeds of great evil. Where does the blame lie?
If you have the intelligence to understand my questions, you know where it lies. Here, there, everywhere, in everyone and everything. But the manipulator bears the most.

Consolation Prize Jul 27, 2022

Twists and turns here! We got your twists and turns here!
Well, just one, but if you figure it out before I make it explicit, give yourself a big old pat on the back and make your shower a little warmer than usual today. You'll have earned it.

The Big Bad, and the Big Erm... What's a Bad Word for Neutrality? (The Pantheon, HGC) Jul 13, 2022

The HGC has appeared multiple times, and it's, well, it's kind of obvious. The future analogue of a thousand different empires, compounded into the true nihilism of a time after meaningless tragedy. Sometimes it does good, sometimes it does bad. Every nation state today is a little HGC.
Acronyms are really fun to say. Roll 'HGC' around on your tongue. It sounds real nice, doesn't it? I think it's the 'C' on the end that does it.

3PM Jul 06, 2022

It's that time of day again. What will you be doing this lovely 3PM? Are you going to catch up on your hobbies? Read a book? Connect with a loved one?
We all know what you do on 3PM. We know you're not proud of it, but you shouldn't be ashamed, either. Basically none of us do the 3PM things that we tell ourselves we should do.

Kick the Ant Hill Jun 29, 2022

We are not just cruel to each other and to ourselves, we are cruel to the world. We might think our crimes against the natural world have little moral bearing because those beings less intelligent than us are inherently less valuable, and thus their suffering is less bad. That may be true, but when smaller amounts are piled up in the billions... perhaps when our ant hill is kicked, we will deserve it.

Isle of the Forgotten Jun 22, 2022

Mythology, like all human creations, contravenes itself. Why must we always lie to each other? Why must we lie to ourselves? Are we really so uncomfortable with truth that we must mask our sins in story?
Yes.
The answer's yes, obviously.

Purple Brother Jun 15, 2022

Nothing infects wounds like regret.
Let's be honest. Thing's aren't going so hot here, are they? The future is being devoured as we speak. And the thing doing the devouring isn't even enjoying it. You would think that there would at least be that. But no.
The Purple Banners are here, there, everywhere. We must act, in large ways and in small. Otherwise we will soon be having conversations like this.
It's not a conversation. :)

Opportunity: A Celestial is Born May 30, 2022

They call them the Celestial Cage for a reason. But that sounds redundant, doesn't it? There is always reason behind names.

End of the Chill May 23, 2022

And yet, sometimes there must be passion, and celebration.

Past the Night of Blood, There Is The Sunset May 16, 2022

A lesson in moderation, even for times in which passion seems to be the best tool, the best method of survival.

War of the Mind May 09, 2022

Often times the worst reaction to crisis is panic. Panic is immediately satisfying, but when your threat lurks in the shadows, it is better to grab a light.

The Pantheon: Days Before May 02, 2022

A look into the past of the future.

Encyclopedia: The Holy Purge Apr 11, 2022

I drop a lot of strange details into my writings. (Almost) everything is meant to be bound together. And when all those details are taken into consideration, there are inevitably some questions. How could things be the way they are? And here are answers. Biased answers which, by their essence, cannot be completely correct, but they are better than nothing, eh?

Heart Without Forgiveness Apr 04, 2022

A race example of easy continuity in my work. Knowledge and understanding are infectious. Worse still, they make you a willing infection vector.
I understand this character's hatred more than anything else I think I've written about previously. Not to some bizarre monster, but to the concepts and forces that made my mind simultaneously so limited, and yet so inquisitive. I hope you are not familiar with this hatred, but if you are, you have my sympathies.
Stay safe out there.

Room With No Ceiling Mar 28, 2022

Another absence. But I am here, always, in some form or another. And here you go! Some words, in audio! And it talks about weird philosophical truths that you probably won't understand, and that I probably don't understand either!
This guy piggybacks off an older episode, 'The Beast With No Skin.' https://www.buzzsprout.com/811181/episodes/6098242
I have a bad habit of revisiting old work, but the concepts therein are mostly continuous. Every story, every idea joins together. The characters are mostly window dressing. That's definitely my greatest weakness as a writer.

Enercorp (Fourth Sign) Mar 10, 2022

The Fourth Sign is another large, ridiculous project I've been working on. You might have seen some of it already, although I titled it (Abyss) or something like that.
Anyways, this guy isn't a demon. So his narrative ought to be easier to swallow.

Ember Tarastia (Encyclopedia) Mar 03, 2022

I enjoy donning my old guise from time to time, even though I know the old mask cannot lead to anything but suffering in the long run.

The Curse (Encyclopedia) Feb 24, 2022

The stories in this place have a context which is long and deep. Let this old soul show you some of it.

Over the Edge Feb 17, 2022

A story of true madness, brought about by an actual dream of mine.
It should go without saying, but I do not endorse using your dreams to inform your worldview. As advice for creative writing? Sure. As actual advice for how you should conduct your life? No. Obviously.

Creak of the Seat Feb 10, 2022

So many players, so many games. Are you to root for someone, or to play yourself?

Too Soon (Chronology of the Box, 2) Feb 03, 2022

This explains some things. And also doesn't. Very much canon.

Seller of Apples Jan 27, 2022

And coincidence proves itself to be just that. A fabricated tale to dispel paranoia? Maybe. I think I'm just having fun.

Buyer of Apples Jan 20, 2022

I love coincidence. Without all the facts of a matter, coincidence is often seen as anything but. And how can you blame the person who sees coincidence as providence? Either interpretation will leave you in the dark, most of the time.

Homecoming Jan 13, 2022

And I am here again. And again. And again.
I like this one, more than most. But I am not unbiased in my opinions, as you well know.

Bones of Old (Chronology of the Box, 1) Dec 16, 2021

I've already written about this guy a couple of times. Why is it here? What is it doing? How is it doing anything in the first place? Those are all very rude questions. What if I asked you those same questions about you?

Jerri Imal Dec 02, 2021

I apologize once again for tardiness. But the length. Again, these are quite a bit more difficult, but more fun to do on my part. And if it isn't obvious by the imperious tone I gave him, I do not like my narrator character and think his views are quite rancid. It feels kind of irresponsible to have bad narrator characters like this, but hey, I thought about what kind of person this guy would be, and I inevitably came to the conclusion that he would be, well, this.
And if it isn't obvious by the title and the story therein, this is a continuation of https://www.buzzsprout.com/811181/episodes/8874713 , "Jerrimal," narrated by the titular guy who isn't a demon. Just a jerk.

Monsters in Melinsk Nov 19, 2021

The only portion of a story that I could salvage :(
A soft of continuation of Midnight Train to Melinsk. It's the same narrator, but I couldn't finish the story for them, just this portion. I'm only putting it out here because it felt decent enough in isolation.

Blue Nov 12, 2021

In retrospect, I should have chosen another color.
This is best listened to with https://www.buzzsprout.com/811181/episodes/6523558 (Nailed to the Floor) in mind, as this is a continuation of it. But, if you don't go back and listen to it, here's the gist; a guy wakes up to find everything nailed to floor, he searches for the cause, and is horrified to find that the cause is a horde of ordinary people. He then joins the mob in their insanity.
That should be enough context for it to work. Or maybe even that was unnecessary. Everything I do starts in the thick of things, so if you've followed me this long, you're probably acquainted with not knowing what the heck is going on for a while.

Tiny Little Rock of Eternal Doom Jul 07, 2021

Otherwise known as the fanfiction explaining why there is no known human habitation of Earth in the 25th century.
It is such a pain to make this stuff cohesive, partially because it is is borne of insanity, and partially because these time scales are too big, with events too vast for everything to click together and be compelling in little one off things. So each story will reveal a little portion of a much bigger thing. If you think about them in tandem they'll make a bit more sense, but not even the Pantheon (proper) series will elucidate everything. Mostly because I haven't explained everything to myself.

Notes From the Algorithm Jun 25, 2021

The future is bleak in ways it's difficult to appreciate with a mind made of meat. I despise the order that is to come. It won't be as bad as what I depict here, but the meticulous planning of human life along ammoral, hollow patterns of consumption...
So many gods.

Escape 2: Blood on the Horizon May 22, 2021

Sometimes advice is not listened to. But is the advice ignored because it isn't received, or because it is disagreed with? Maybe it's just out of hatred.
And no, I wrote this before listening to Jonas Kyratzes' Gospels of the Flood. It's an amazing podcast of similar type to my own, albeit done by a professional. I recommend checking it out.

But there are some boundaries we must lay out. I'm not sure if the ones that I put here are the right ones.

Abyss 4: May the Widows Weep Apr 23, 2021

The last letter between out two demon friends.
Just so it's clear, I agree with a lot of the logic my demon characters use. Except they're demons, and I'm a human. Our existences and desires are antithetical, so while they use their mental pathway to seek annihilation, myself and my mortal friends can use it for creation. Just think about it for a second and you'll see that I'm right(ish).

Abyss 3: May the Young and Old Diverge Apr 16, 2021

There is a chance for everything, so we give everything for a chance. Can you blame them? No. You do not understand. You look at the fields of your fellow damned human souls and say that it is the fault of the demons. Perhaps. But then do you believe that your damnation was your fault? No, you believe, nay, you know that you were misled, that you could have been better under a better system. So too could the demons be akin to saints. But where does the system start? Where does it end?
Every good deed you do helps ease the world's pain, so long as you do not grow complacent. It is difficult, I know. You might tell yourself you don't have the energy after work. But why do you work so hard that you don't have the energy to even consider being good? What madness is that? You've found a thread. Start pulling at it.

Abyss 2: May the Hall of Mirrors be Shattered Apr 11, 2021

LET'S GET SOMETHING CLEAR:
The demons in this little universe thingie have it much worse than us, okay? Literally existence itself hurts them. Don't take your ambient sadness and be like, oh, hey, Mr. Pantheon guy wrote a story about suicidal demons, so I should commit suicide by blowing up the world. Nah nah nah nah. You're sad 'cause we humans are stupid, and have messed the world up by worshipping selfishness. Help in fixing that, you'll feel good. I know 'cause I'm also a person, believe it or not, and I know how to really feel good in this man wrought hell. And also in general, too : )
Anyways, I have a real perverse sense of fun, but then don't we all? It's so much better to endorse that in make believe stories then in harming the real flesh and blood people of this universe, isn't it?

A mini series that I cranked out. I'm mostly having fun here, per usual, but you'll find some of my real ideas hidden in there. I hope they continue to worm their way into your heads. And I also hope that you ignore the baby chickens screaming in the background. The alternative was recording in a vehicle which would quickly turn into a sauna, and I for one do not like dying for podcasts. I hope you understand.
Anyways, I think I'll be writing longer descriptions again. I don't think anyone reads them, but I like 'em.

They are meant to address the future, and most of the opinions will only be slightly wrong. Yet, somehow, they lead to utter horror. Odd, that.

Always Less Mar 28, 2021

Flipping the script on something that left a bitter taste on my tongue. Hopefully this matches the Pantheon's palette a bit better. :-)

Test Subject 1405 Mar 11, 2021

Arrrg, shoot me. Whelp, I'm back. It's done. I got a lot of more interesting things written in the meantime, but this will only make sense if it's released in the same time period as the other test subjects.
Anyways, it always helps to remember what you're working towards. Life is not worth preserving solely for itself. It is an absolute neutral, something that must have value to be added to it for it to be worth your effort. Where does that value come from? I'll state my opinion in the mouth of one of my characters.

The Pantheon: A Feaster Jan 28, 2021

The past dreams up many strange things. So does the present. Keep your wits about you, understand what things are real. Burn those that are not. When the false becomes reality, tragedy always strikes.
I was trying some weird audio thing on Test Subject 1405. It didn't work, so I'll have to go rerecord it. In the meantime, here's a little slice of the Pantheon.

Test Subject 982 Jan 22, 2021

It's fun to watch numbers go up and down, until you actually think deeply about what those numbers represent. Numbers, it must be remembered, are mental abstractions of our own creation to convey details of reality. They are shallower, less than the actual, physical world. And still, we are obsessed with them.
There are two more dishes to come. They may take a little while. The chef is busy with other things.

Something in the Sea Aug 30, 2020

What is it about the sea which so strangles the attention of man? It is nothing more than a grand basin of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. A mess of matter. Nothing more.
More of a generic horror story, with the horror being pretty light. But these types are actually the stuff I find the most fun to make. Like with this one I literally made it up on the spot, recorded it in my phone, and then transcribed/edited and rerecorded it on my computer. No floweryness. Just me being another person in another situation, trying to get the feel for it. Strange, sure, but I'm quite strange.
Also, I've attached the transcript to this one! Didn't notice that as a feature before. That's one thing I want to put behind a gate if there's ever serious momentum behind this, but for now, it's there for all to see!

Bethel She'em: Insolence Aug 19, 2020

Bethel She'em is something I work on when I have no idea what else to do. Basically, it's just a bunch of vignettes made by people who have 'survived' a heavily Christian coded apocalypse. I might just drop some of them here from time to time, but be warned: some parts of Bethel She'em are, in my opinion, the creepiest stuff I have ever written, or seen written. A lot of the horror is not explicit, but if you think about it for even a second...
Anyways, this one's not so bad. Even in the dominion of the choir, some still hold onto logic.

Arguments can be made for anything. What you think does not matter until you act on it, and then it becomes irrevocable.

As a result, we can only be as careful as we can in the minefield of our own thoughts.

Armistice Road Jun 13, 2020

And everything would be made less.
Gonna confess something here; I'm a bit disappointed with this one. It was going to be ridiculously creepy, in a completely unhealthy sense. I feel I had to butcher it to make it coherent and not grind out my own mind. Oh well. Still is pretty nice, by my estimation, of course.

Purple Banners Jun 06, 2020

The purple banners marched long ago. They march again today.
This one is out of chronological order, but unfortunately I felt I had to finish this one first given the events of the world around me. What you think the purple banners are will vary, but the upcoming days will be a test for all of us. But my purple banners have been marching for quite a while. They're the reason I've been stressed enough to write any of this is in the first place.
Just, for all of our sakes, if you think you can identify the purple banner, don't lift it up, even when it asks you to, croons to you about the power you might get. Thanks.

Embrace of the Warden - Pantheon Ep. 5 May 29, 2020

Much work of annihilation is simply waiting, watching, making sure the various efforts do not go off kilter. Oddly enough, the direction is almost the exact same for order and civilization. It's the little details that matter the most. The little bits of pain you bring onto orders cascade with time into entire movements and institutions of evil, and vice versa for good.
This is a bit of a weird one, creepy too (all of the Pantheon proper ones will be). Mostly just put this out here to get my uploading schedule closer on track. Really tired, being on the frontline of the pandemic and all. I'll try and get something longer, more prose-like out tomorrow and next Wednesday.

Alone and Adrift: Standalone Episode May 23, 2020

A prospective colonist finds terror in peace.
Even relative isolation can wreak terror on the human mind. We all understand this, and yet here in this country we engage in isolation as a punishment. I make no exaggeration when I say it would be less barbaric to pull out their toenails and run a vine of thorns through their tongue, leaving them to bleed to death on the ground. The magnitude of suffering in that case is far less. We are complicit in this madness, all of us, even if just a little.

The Burning One Pt. 8: Last Step May 06, 2020

The end result of a man tricked and ideologically corralled into crime. What are promises worth when they are built by rotten minds? What value is wealth when it cannot be spent?
As a personal note, I think I'm getting quite good at simulating psychological breakdowns :P. The Burning One has a bunch of potential side stories/other characters attached to it, but I'm not sure if I'll ever port them over here.

The Burning Pt 7: The Smoldering One Apr 29, 2020

The Burning One dies, and a bit of forgiveness dies with it.
The world is full of problems. Why? Many reasons, but I feel the most prominent one is that we simply don't bother to ask one simple question.
These are not that question, but they are important, nonetheless:
Where is your blade aimed? For what reason do you kill? Do you understand that you are killing? Because you are.
This mini-series is almost done. There's a bunch of off-shoot subplots I've written out that may or may not be turned into episodes, but the core of this thing's message is almost said. As always, thank you for supporting my peculiar madness in this small way. I hope my skills are improving to the point where things are actually tolerable.

Clients: Standalone Story Apr 01, 2020

There are more types of freedom than we imagine. Freedom from the tides of our own anger is one. We like to ignore that one here on Earth, but doing so often compels us to ruin our own lives, instead of the lives of those who injured us.
I am no fan of forgiveness without recompense, but sometimes there is context to a crime that we cannot, must not ignore. Sometimes it is best that we shed our anger.

The One Who Wasn't - The Pantheon Ep. 4 Mar 28, 2020

The final god of the trinity of nihilism, the most worshipped deities in present humanity. The One Who Wasn't is certainly the least harmful of the trio, least in our present time. There is much to be dissected about them, but nothing to be followed, not yet.
It is very easy to become disillusioned in these years, especially if you seek to be good, or have the world be good in any meaningful way. Many problems are colossal, completely unsurmountable to the individual, and yet they still stare at you, day after day. If you let your helplessness get to you, there is nowhere to go but the void, to be crushed by silence. Keep a little flame of hope with you at all times, and do not let yourself fall too deep into misery if you have the chance.
It ain't over 'til we're all dead. And it might not be over even then.

Donut: Standalone Story Mar 23, 2020

There is a kind of addiction to despair. When all things seem awful, it seems that the worst thing that can happen you is something good. Why? Because in terrible times, the very essence of good is madness, another type of evil trying to sneak into your life and make things worse. This is one thing that makes a pit of despair difficult to claw out of on your own.
Guilt is a terrible thing, especially guilt for things you had no control over. Very often, empathetic people will take blame that is not truly theirs, and let it simmer in their minds. Give that guilt time, and you'll have forgotten the facts of the matter. What was once only partially your fault is now fully your own. The solution? We'll get to it. But for now, simply try to track those feelings of guilt. Do not let inappropriate guilt fester in your soul. There are many things you do that are evil. Do not drive yourself insane focusing on one.
As an aside, I literally just challenged myself to write a story about a donut and this fell out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Doesn't mean there's not a lesson to be learnt or anything, but I am fairly impressed that I managed to make it work even a little. But my pride's getting to me.

Mander: The Burning One, Pt. 6 Mar 18, 2020

The plot thickens. One man might have remorse for the entire world, but then even still, they are tiny compared to the totality of their society. There are more stories to tell, more paths to follow to the end.
There are many ways to react to crisis, real or imagined. Faced with absurd circumstances, one is tempted to move towards absurdity to use it as your shield. Fire with fire, and whatnot. Sometimes that is practical. But very rarely. Without the application of logic and empathy, all situations can get worse.
TBH, did not plan this episode for the current pandemic. Wrote it weeks before it was international news. Coincidence? Yes. Very much so. The advice still stands.
Stay safe. This is no time to turn to madness, and yet it is still a time to embrace caution. And, as always, it is a time to question what slavery your gods impose upon you. Do your ideologies bring you to insanity at this moment? Probably.
Take lessons from the characters within. In learning what is usually wrong, you will find it easier to determine what is right.

Flame Cooked: The Burning One Pt. 5 Mar 11, 2020

The trials continue. Memories are flooding back. Is a sacrifice really a sacrifice if it is not acknowledged or remembered? If only you could forget that you ever asked the question, all sacrifices would then be so easy.
We're about halfway through on this one.

Red: The Burning One, Pt. 4 Mar 04, 2020

Memories are like pests; you can get rid of them for awhile, but they will always come back. The only way to keep them out of your house (or mind) is to burn the house down. That sacrifice is never worth it. The best solution to terrible memories? Try and not make them in the future, bear the torment that you deserve for your past. You'll only escape that pain by burning your house straight down. You will never find forgiveness unless you work to deserve it.

First Step: The Burning One, Pt. 3 Mar 04, 2020

It's so easy to forget things, especially things that are important and cause your mind to writhe about in pain. But always remember: an empty mind is the most easily manipulated. Give trust to others only at your own peril, especially with the way things are going up about in the real world. A simple mind is a simple puppet, another tool for evil in the guise of good.
Things are getting interesting, aren't they? Quite a bit more to come.

You convince yourself of your murder. What then? Where do you take the blame when there is no one else left to forgive you?

It's cold inside. But why is it cold? How can we escape it? Is the most important part of making up for a crime recognizing that you committed the crime in the first place?
This is the first part of a larger story that I'm going to be putting up here in succession. It's fairly simple, I think, but the message of the story will be difficult to parse out until the end. Up until that point, it's just a nice little cosmic horror ditty.

Scraper of Skin Feb 21, 2020

My first attempt at poetry in a loooonnng time. I don't remember the genesis of it, save that the idea it gave me of depicting various monsters in literary form was the genesis of The Pantheon itself. It's got a bit of morality thrown into it too. Far too often we see other people in the world as evil when their choices in life were quite limited. Is an evil committed strictly for the purpose of survival really evil? Not really. Of course, with humans, there's a lot of nuance in our actions, but with a beast or a natural force? A hurricane and a swarm of mosquitoes are equally evil, in that, well, they aren't.
To be honest, this is me trying to make up for missing my usual deadline time. Apologies.

It Was the Middle of the Night - Pantheon Ep. 3 Feb 05, 2020

The Prophet is visited in the middle of the night, long ago.
This visitor is quite odd, quite harsh, and in fact has already graced us in the first episode of the podcast. The visitor comes to people at their lowest, seeking to grant them something that might be appealing under those conditions: bloodlust. But this bloodlust it gives never ends, even when there is not another drop of blood left to be shed. How do you turn away this beast at your lowest point? What things can give you hope? There are many things. Here is one.
There's a lot of contemporary talk among the young of the "blackpill," the embrace of absolute, bloody nihilism in the face of the colossal problems of the present. This viewpoint, is, of course, spread by the first great antagonist foundational ideology. Victims of it are hopeless. Most will simply wallow in hopelessness and apathy, but a few will turn to bloodshed. As time passes and The One Who Isn't is left unopposed, the number of these people will grow larger and larger, until they perhaps take over the bulk of society. Best to avoid that.

The One Who Wouldn't Be - Pantheon Ep. 2 Feb 05, 2020

A love-letter to those who would identify themselves as consumers.
We are many things, and hunger is one of them, but should not be the primary thing we identify with. Unfortunately, contemporary culture is obsessed with the idea of consumption; those who create and consume more are seen as inherently better than those who create and consume less. When you try and view this ideology from the outside it's quite odd, for even though luxuries and the like are good for our lives and experiences, binding our entire lives to them, to their creation, consumption, and propagation is making us less and less happy. If the idea of eternal creation/consumption is allowed to continue to rule over us, we will all die, in a very horrific fashion. We notice it. We understand it, but do nothing about it, because we are obsessed with smaller issues, smaller gods. Of course, I'll elaborate more on this later.

A Reasonable Request: Standalone Story Jan 29, 2020

What horror must a man have committed to deserve such a fate? Search in your own soul. Are you so much more virtuous that a plea for help from your fellow man can go unanswered?
A Reasonable Request is more of a typical horror story, something I've loved to craft and play out in front of friends over the years. It's less morally loaded, but it still asks the important question about the value of another person's life. Are those we consider slightly evil worthy of death? I'm not agnostic on this issue, and neither should you be.
Thank you for listening, and thank you for continuing with me into the future.
Sincerely,
Joshua White, your fellow human in a chaotic and barbaric world.

The West: Standalone Story Jan 22, 2020

What is the West? People have lots of ideas about it right now, but they're probably on the wrong track.
The West is a standalone tale, independent of The Pantheon. I'll probably be dropping a lot of these sorts of things over here from time to time. I've done this one first because I particularly liked it, but, of course, there's a lot of moral overtones to it too. As we live in a very causal universe, any action of own will have repercussions. Obvious stuff, but we tend to give ourselves a pass on the repercussions of our own actions while eviscerating those of others.
Season 2 will be used as an indication that this is a miscellaneous story.
The Pantheon is written and produced by Joshua White. Music by Erokia (https://freesound.org/people/Erokia/), on whose behalf I have donated to the Freesound platform.

The One Who Isn't - Pantheon Ep. 1 Jan 15, 2020

The One Who Isn't is not a god, although you've got quite a lot of people around today thinking that it is. Perhaps we will not be able to leave this god behind in the future, but we can diminish its grip on our minds.
In case the metaphor is lost on people, all the "gods" I will depict are reflective of our own true personal gods: ideologies. Let's be honest. We all have gods. Even if we don't dress up and sing chants for them, they still dominate us, shackle us, make us give up our lives for nothing. I will try in this series to destroy as many of those shackles as possible, so that we might be truly free.
The One Who Isn't is representative of the death drive that drives much of modern politics, particularly among the disaffected. They'll be making lots of appearances.
And... that's about all I'm willing to say right now. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy as the dulcet tones of apparent insanity wash over your ears. Do your laundry. Clean your room. Work out. Be a human, and I will be the author.
Much more to come.
Written and produced by Joshua White. Background music by Erokia from Freesound (https://freesound.org/people/Erokia/) on whose behest I've donated to the Freesound platform.
