snippet of my current work in progress

"Seonghwa feels the edge of something invisible under his feet, stomach clenched as if teetering on tightrope. He puts the key in the lock and turns it once, twice, thrice, stepping back before the heavy door opens.
As it does, the wind swells and pushes him—no, pulls him in-toward the laquered wood, more mouth than opening, than door, consuming all sound with it. A step inside is all it takes before the door slams shut, the last of dusk's light away with it too."

background photo is a sunset through tree branches filled with leaves

"Seonghwa blinks awake. As if on autopilot, he gets up and continues towards the house, not sparing a second glance to the ground where, in place of his curled up body, lies an indent like shadow made flesh.
Around the bend, the charcoal wood exterior comes into view. Going by windows, he wagers there's at least two stories and what looks like an attic. The sky has taken on an orange tint, last of the sun bleeding into the blue expanse, prompting Seonghwa to check his watch."
"Seven fourty-two p.m. He can't quite remember what time he got here, can't really think back on how he arrived. His legs move him up some final steps and onto a porch where he looks back out towards the town, setting sun drowning him in warm light. Already everything below the hill is blanketed by dusk, not even
* light from inside homes visible. Seonghwa imagines himself a giant, squatting over the houses, contorting his limbs so he can lean an ear to their roofs, listen to their heartbeats, match the rhythm of his rattling breaths to them. When he goes to reach a hand out towards the sun, it turns into a fist in his pocket, around something made of metal.
A last look at the landscape: darkness on the bottom, endless light above, Seonghwa right in the middle with a key in his pocket that wasn't there before. He knows what door it opens."

even worse on an old wip. over 4000 edits on a less than 4000 word work. wow

tweet by @yilingmoon re: yeosang saying on fromm "Because I'm attached to Mingi" (papago translation)

"more than being physically attached to someone, 정이가다 is like growing fond of someone, hence developing feelings of attachment towards them. so he's talking about being really fond of his minki"

i really loved agamemnon and elektra too, euripides' orestes was meh in comparison (bar a few moments that struck where they needed.) all in all, i would read anything carson writes

nobody told me i'd read all of An Oresteia and get to this bit towards the end
lines from orestes by euripides, translated by anne carson

ORESTES One last worry-

PYLADES What?

ORESTES The ghastly goddesses—they'll send my wits astray.

PYLADES I'll take care of you.

ORESTES It's rotten work.

PYLADES Not to me. Not if it's you.

ORESTES Beware the contagion of madness.

PYLADES Come now.

ORESTES You won't shrink back?

PYLADES A friend does not shrink back.

ORESTES Then let's go.

PYLADES Let's go.

snippets of text with the photo of a pine backlit by dusk. 

"He doesn't make a conscious choice to start the trek uphill on his own—he blinks away suburban nightmare and is suddenly mid-step, tall wheatgrass brushing his calves as he ascends the stairs to the house, the realtor forgotten. It can't have rained anytime recently— everything is golden-dry and prickly, save for some fireweed and black-eyed Susans that protrude the hill's mantle. A little hope seeps in. Could he really have this?

He stops to catch his breath, hidden from the sun's irradiation by brush so tall it could be trees.
The street below, visible only through a little gap in foliage, looks further away than should be possible. Seonghwa smiles. It's quiet here, not even a bird's chirp audible. He perches on a small, smooth rock, breathing the shade in. His eyes feel heavy; the mere thought of a breeze brings it through the leaves, and it sounds like waves rolling softly into each other, lulling him to sleep."
