me: I'm a homebody i like to stay at home!
the home:
muddles my perception of time
Changes in both size and distance
lulls me into sense of safety and twist it into an oppressive paranoia inducing hellouse-scape
compels me to forget my own autonomous existence
waters down the outside and/ or exaggerate it to mythical extent
shrinks front door perron when i ascend, jarringly draws it out when i descend.
all its windows views are other walls of itself
the backyard fence looms in every horizon
bitter to abandonment of what belongs under its roof, including me when i go out to buy some good ol orange fanta
doesn’t look for me under its roof, it always knows where I'm.
when it sleeps doors never open, i don’t know it’s sleeping schedule
whatever happens silently around the corners is real, my apprehension is valid and understandable, and indeed i should panic.

I'm sad how shockingly little it's mentioned in the general mythos community that the House is canonically named "Laura". I think that it's a little heartfelt detail that gets missed out on way too often.
