“It’s this dream I keep having. Not really a dream, I guess. It always happens when I’m awake but zoning out. This flash of light...bright, overwhelming, in the shape of a...I dunno, a mushroom cloud or something? It makes me want to put on my gas mask so I can watch it undistracted just in case it’s some sort of nuclear bomb, chemical warfare...or a falling supernova. But whatever it is I just wanna watch it through my gas mask. My gas mask makes me feel safe and warm...like my head is in a weird womb or something, and I’m not born yet. Everything else is exploding but I’m not. I’m still safe...in a gasmask supernova.”
