The nightmares have returned —but I only realize as I walk through Sunny’s forest, there had been another last night…. as it now comes back to me; there is still something dark that is buried there that I am still hiding from
But as I hike through leaves and branches on my way to find the right path which leads to that hunter’s hide, I see the clearing and the two objects ….and as I walk past them I see the path that leads to the hide which looks like a little gray house with dark green camouflage tree branches painted on it like all the others on Sunny’s hunting grounds. The small building structure is sat on tall metal props that elevate it high; like a treehouse, it is tree level and for a moment I seem to just stare at it as I compare it to the photo in the email attachment and…. I get a chill; a kind of shudder as if I get a sense of fear
I walk the rest of the distance to reach it, take a deep breath as I circle it, walking towards the front, where the ladder is that leads up to a door…. and— for just a quick moment as I get a jolt, I pause to take a deep breath and then climb the tall ladder slowly as I feel my knees start to tremble. With growing dread, I force myself to not think as I continue my climb to the top. And, once there, I feel myself trembling even more by now, then forcing out thought, haul myself up the landing with both hands. I land neatly in a quiet thud, then carefully I test the wood of the landing with my weight on it
And as the landing proves sound, I test myself to walk two steps ….carefully to the front door and pause…. hold my breath…. and, squeezing my eyes shut, grab the door handle which looks like a regular old brass doorknob that you would have found in some old house from the 1940s….It turns with difficulty but manages to unfasten and now I start to pull open the door, at first very carefully, only about a centimeter —and peak in….but I don’t have to as —at that moment I hear Jörn’s cough just before he says,
“yes it’s me duva…. it’s safe….”
Only he should have prepared me…. and as I swing wide the door, I see his blood everywhere
I go to the emails and find the one from Carmen and open it, it says
To Cabaret administrator;
I require a refund for the two items you will see pictured in the attachments
So I open each attachment ….but instead of items from the online shop the two photos are ….
rather odd…. one is a photo of two odd broken branches; one shaped like a V the other a Y
the other photo is …. of …. a hunter’s hide ….
suddenly it hits me; I have seen both these things …. because they are on Sunny’s property ….
thoughts…. & /of the dictionary
in all the relationships/lovers I’ve ever had, never was there one who ever read anything I wrote. Never asked to, never took the initiative to bother. the same is true for my visual art, they but took a casual glance at it and never commented during the course of our intimacy
one even walked right across one of my paintings and left a footprint
Is that why I do this ?
I guess there is a contradiction of how I am perceived outwardly. My physical looks don’t match who I am (do I look like a slut?) and must be the reason I have always attracted the worst partners. I really do not see how others see me; I get confused whenever situations come about from the result of this (so it is no surprise I don’t post pictures of myself here and try to limit it in other places)
Some people have been asking me what is happening with my ‘project’ side of “Electra’s dictionary”
Electra’s dictionary ….. it’s been a part of me for as long as I have been self-aware. And, it seems that whatever I do in my life, it evolves into but it is also my clipboard of consciousness and —I guess, will continue to until the end
To be and to morph, and bend to life around the nucleus that I exist in….but
Electra’s dictionary ….does it belong in that real world out there?
I don’t want be commercial
so —what could it be?
There’s a line in the movie Tootsie when Bill Murray’s character says “I wish I had a theatre that was only open when it rained,”
and …. I guess it’s like that
what kind of people venture out on rainy evenings? Possibly the kinds who wish to avoid crowds….
Those other types ….well …. they would never grasp the Dictionary
So, in trying to envision how to reach that rainy day audience —as they must exist but maybe just are scattered all over the planet in secret corners of the world, as, I believe there are a lot of introverts out there with similar leanings
Lately when I have been thinking about this in consideration in making it as film, it would work best if it could be done very modestly. Almost like it is Electra’s iPhone filming it as an extension in her diary and just let the story tell it.
Visually and audibly, as my diary depicts and blends the real with the haze of illusion…. move from verse to scenes fluidly like the blog; like a vlog …. it has become my favorite as an idea, so—in this way it would not need big budget special effects methods, as I couldn’t compete with this anyway but I really don’t think my style of storytelling actually needs it—and I have begun to believe it’s more a distraction to do the Dictionary in that way.
…. a bit gritty at first as it opens …. visually like stepping inside a diary and a consciousness
