the silence of god

is it concerning?

story idea

i have this idea for a short story - this old farmer guy and his hound dog stumbles upon a freaky satanist doing a ritual in the middle of the woods, the satanist threatens the farmer and attacks him, and in the struggle, the farmer blasts the guy

and kills him.  Afterward he notices in the middle of a drawn on the ground pentagram, there's two little baby demonic creatures. He takes them home with him and feeds them meat and stuff and they are pretty crazy and destructive but sorta affectionate towards him and sleep curled up next to the hound dog.

Anyways, it turns out the satanist guy was literally the anti-christ, and the two demonlings are new-born world destroyers meant to help him end the world but instead they just end up obnoxious pets of an old farmer.

Peace

I don't care about anything

except peace and quiet and something pretty to look at and maybe a cigar after a nice meal. Of course in order to earn this time of solitude and rest I must work and argue and toil and struggle, but when I think about life its really just me, content, alone, thinking and enjoying being alive.

I often tell people I would enjoy living alone stranded on a deserted island. I think they think I am joking. I am not. It is the life. I would hunt my own food, eat, build my home, explore, enjoy nature. At night I would look at the stars and wonder about the mysteries of the universe. I don't care about anything, I don't like pretending I care.

infinite tower story ideas

DSericYo: ok so its the guitar playing turtle skeleton, the mexican dude vocalist, and the 3rd member of the band is a trumpet playing ghost. the ghost can possess bodies for short periods of time so he needs a fresh body when they go to play a gig
(09:48:01) psyonicrutabaga2: Nice
(09:48:24) DSericYo: also the problem is that they were smuggling *something* across the border for a big $score
(09:48:40) DSericYo: and the fuzz busted them so they had to ditch the cargo
(09:49:03) DSericYo: and the mobster that hired them needs the money or he's gonna kill them all
(09:49:23) DSericYo: he takes a vaccuum and vacuums the ghost and sticks him in a glass bottle as a hostage
(09:49:43) DSericYo: threatening to toss him off the side of the infinite tower if he doesn't get the gold in 3 days
(09:50:39) DSericYo: this is a secret but the infinite tower is the tower the little odd men (cyrocade's minions) are building down the bottomless pit
(09:51:05) DSericYo: and theya re like 1000 stories down
(09:51:23) DSericYo: no one there had seen the sun or stars for hundreds of years
(09:52:06) DSericYo: there's like a whole world with different societies as you travel down the tower
(09:53:51) DSericYo: oh and the turtle is an alcoholic asshole
(09:54:05) DSericYo: but damn can he play the guitar
(09:54:36) DSericYo: i need some help working out the details of how the story goes though
(09:57:20) psyonicrutabaga2: Yeah?
(09:57:34) DSericYo: yeah like what do they do to get the money?
(09:57:43) DSericYo: i was thinking there's some battle of the bands type thing
(09:58:28) DSericYo: with the mobster attending with the jar
(10:02:59) psyonicrutabaga2: They play "el sabor de la corazon del fuego"
(10:04:02) psyonicrutabaga2: A song that makes women get all gooey
(10:04:34) psyonicrutabaga2: Sanchos secret song
(10:04:42) psyonicrutabaga2: Taught to their singer
(10:05:40) psyonicrutabaga2: If the mobster was a huge fat bitch
(10:07:03) psyonicrutabaga2: It melts her frozen heart

(11:25:52) DSericYo: well i kinda see it as old comrades, like they aren't new to the tower, they've been kicking it around getting in trouble and going on little adventures for a couple hundred years
(11:27:03) psyonicrutabaga2: K
(11:29:52) psyonicrutabaga2: Once I get a good footing with the characters and setting I'm golden
(11:30:06) psyonicrutabaga2: Tugs will be easy
(11:30:26) psyonicrutabaga2: Mort is harder
(11:30:42) psyonicrutabaga2: For lack of a better name
(11:30:48) DSericYo: sounds good to me
(11:31:02) psyonicrutabaga2: Like
(11:31:11) psyonicrutabaga2: A simple bandito
(11:31:43) psyonicrutabaga2: And mariachi
(11:31:53) psyonicrutabaga2: The ghost
(11:31:59) psyonicrutabaga2: Orozco

(11:34:15) DSericYo: a big goofy bastard
(11:34:21) psyonicrutabaga2: I'm gonna donate some side characters
(11:34:28) psyonicrutabaga2: Dead esses
(11:34:39) psyonicrutabaga2: vatos
(11:34:40) DSericYo: we can have living people too
(11:34:50) DSericYo: and it doesnt have to stick to only mexican themed
(11:34:50) DSericYo: like
(11:35:00) DSericYo: ok lemme give the backstory to the tower
(11:35:02) DSericYo: so it can make sense
(11:35:08) DSericYo: have we talked about it before?
(11:35:10) psyonicrutabaga2: K
(11:35:19) psyonicrutabaga2: Maybe
(11:35:26) DSericYo: ok basically
(11:37:38) DSericYo: there's a bottomless pit somewhere in the universe
(11:37:55) DSericYo: for intents and purposes, lets call it hell, but its not really hell
(11:38:05) DSericYo: you die, you get tossed into the pit
(11:38:19) DSericYo: lost for eternity
(11:38:23) DSericYo: until
(11:38:35) DSericYo: the odd little men from cyrocade lore stumble upon it
(11:38:43) DSericYo: and are like
(11:38:45) DSericYo: hmmmmm
(11:39:00) DSericYo: and begin building a structure
(11:39:02) DSericYo: downwards
(11:39:14) DSericYo: they are trying to build to the bottom
(11:39:48) DSericYo: so imagine like a massive shanty town built down a bottomless pit
(11:39:57) DSericYo: and its been under construction
(11:39:58) DSericYo: for
(11:40:06) psyonicrutabaga2: So further down the tower is all scaffolding
(11:40:08) DSericYo: 10,000 years
(11:40:18) psyonicrutabaga2: Nice
(11:40:36) DSericYo: and people that have been thrown down the pit
(11:40:41) psyonicrutabaga2: Up towards the top its more civilized or what
(11:40:44) DSericYo: have been caught in nets, etc
(11:41:01) psyonicrutabaga2: Maybe that's how mort gets out
(11:41:05) DSericYo: and now populate the cities that have developed over the decades and centuries
(11:41:11) DSericYo: yeah
(11:41:22) DSericYo: towards the top is like old europe
(11:41:32) psyonicrutabaga2: He's in a side chamber when they break through
(11:41:33) DSericYo: century long dynasties
(11:41:52) DSericYo: kings, rules, etc.
(11:41:55) DSericYo: as you go further down
(11:41:57) DSericYo: its more like
(11:42:00) DSericYo: the "new world"
(11:42:01) DSericYo: mexico
(11:42:03) DSericYo: pirates
(11:42:05) DSericYo: old west
(11:42:20) psyonicrutabaga2: Car
(11:42:25) psyonicrutabaga2: Brb
(11:42:40) DSericYo: there's gonna be various elevators and lifts in various states of disrepair
(11:42:58) DSericYo: and the genres of the different levels are going to be very distinct and contrasting in styles
(11:44:29) DSericYo: we dont necessarily have to have the band go through them all
(11:44:38) DSericYo: but thats just for reference to you
(11:44:48) DSericYo: cause we can tell multiple stories about this tower
(11:45:33) DSericYo: i think the cyrocade will be known as the architech of the tower
(11:45:45) DSericYo: like a legendary mythological figure
(11:45:52) DSericYo: he will probably never actually show up

everything is murdered and mutilated forever.

we can wave a white flag but there can be no surrender... the universe doesn't care
