And so it has begun, my journey into this paradisical hell. I am in darkness surrounded by light. “Welcome to Florida!” the sign was large, and glowing with an eerie crimson. Tiny little razor-clawed demons perched on its corners with a knowing sinister grin. Their eyes seemed to narrow even as their smiles widened and yet they waved to me.
The humidity was almost unbearable but becoming much easier to deal with. This was such a drastic change from deep in a valley in the Appalachians to flat, often-burned version of a city. To be fair, there are a lot of beautiful places nearby (excluding the home of that rat and his friends). My own yard has several orange trees mixed among many others I haven’t been able to identify yet. The spanish moss is everywhere.
I reach out as best I can at first, to connect to this digital world I think of as a second home. I find the darkness.com is doing fine on its own and the choice I made for it was fitting. I am also saddened that the care that I used to place in darksites has suffered because of these changes in my life. I’m certain that it will become something much better in the coming weeks now that I am beginning to settle in.
I wanted to share this transition with every dark soul that wanders this way, so that they know to return again someday with the knowledge that it will be worth it.
