Deep Water Prompt #3252
I head to the desert to collect mirages. Properly bottled they can fetch a good price, the key ingredient in most hallucinogenic and obfuscation charms.

“I feel broken. I want only a corner to sleep in, and recuperate my lost strength, and a human being beside me. I want to hide away. I have my own desert to traverse. It is my turn to go away and find what I must do.”
— Anaïs Nin, from a diary entry written c. June 1942, featured in “Mirages.”

Mirage Dragon
These dragons live in the ocean and have the ability to make themselves seem invisible to the naked eye by using light. The fin like things on their sides are their wings, but they also act as a type of fin while underwater, too. They're friendly dragons who tend to help people that are lost/adrift at sea. Their home is a mysterious and illusive island called Mirage Island, which only appears once every 100 years. However, these dragons are always able to find the island, even during the island's nonvisible periods. Their diet consists of eating fish and fruits. Although, friendly to humans, they mostly keep hidden underwater to avoid them and will keep their distance from them, as well, if the human(s) don't appear to be in any trouble.

My body needs it—the hot baths, the care, the soft water, the perfume, the warmth. I take on the colors of the flowers, the bloom, the delicacy. It becomes me.

What causes mirages?
#11 in Physics and Astronomy, 18/11/2023
Many of us may not have ever seen a mirage in person. The only experience some of us will have is witnessing the cliche moment in movies wherein our thirsting, dying hero will spot a beautiful oasis, which disintegrates right before they jump in. Truly tragic.
In the midst of a brief stroll along the physics floor of my school to clear my mind from frustrating applied mathematics questions, a neatly-arranged stack of Physics Today magazines caught my eye. The particular issue I picked up, which looked at black holes, also had a section on “green flashes”, and the topic I’m about to discuss, the science of mirages.
People can see mirages along a highway on a hot day quite easily. In case you’re struggling to visualise it, the following image is a good example!
This phenomenon is caused by refraction of light. As light passes between mediums, it bends; whether or not it turns towards or away from the normal depends on if it going into a more dense material, or the reverse. You may know that light travels its fastest in a vacuum, since there’s no matter slowing it down.
Mirages occur when there’s a rapid change in the density of the atmosphere. This commonly occurs on summer days; a road, which absolutely bakes in the sun, will heat the air right above it as a result. This creates a difference in the air density. As light passes between those two levels, it bends, creating false images.
There are two types of mirages, named “inferior” and “superior.” These names are unusually grand for their meaning; it simply refers to the fact that some mirages form below the original object, and some mirages form above the horizon. What differentiates these two is the order of the air density.
Superior mirages form when there is cooler air below a warmer level of air. This occurs mainly in icy landscapes or over very cold water, meaning that you’ll see an image much higher than it actually should be. You could see a land mass floating in the air, which obviously isn’t realistic. Inferior mirages are just the opposite.
That said, classifying mirages as optical illusions is incorrect. You’re still seeing a real object, and it can even be photographed (how else would I have that photo?). So, the next time you see a mirage, think to yourself, is it inferior or superior? What effect caused it? What actually are my eyes seeing?

Nate shows this image to the interns to teach them about curses bc “fuck it they like frogs I guess”
“Okay, so the frog represents the curse. It goes into your brain, kinda takes it over, and stimulates the pleasure centers of your brain, ergo, makes you get addicted to spreading chaos.”
…
“I better get a raise for this shit.”

Quatrième de couverture
Nous sommes dans le vertige d’un pays qui vacille. Nous sommes dans un archipel où les frontières pourtant poreuses sont devenues infranchissables. Après les frontières physiques, celles du cœur semblent définitivement obstruées. Comment continuer d’aimer dans ces conditions? Comme des funambules, les personnages tentent de traverser le fracas de ce chaos sans être…
