She imagines that beast as like Tolkien\u2019s balrog; well, perhaps as like Tolkien\u2019s balrog: in the presence of a noise like that her images stay not firm.<\/p>\n<p>(Also her language becomes oddly florid. Still. The story is as it is. If it is florid, it will be florid.<\/p>\n<p>This story, after all&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>This story\u2019s true.)<\/p>\n<p>Jenna types bits and pieces of Brygmir onto her Jenna-keys. Of Brygmir, who makes tape for Hans\u2019 emus. Of Brygmir, who is descending even now into the dark and secret places underneath the surfaces of things&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Down to where that sun-beast trembles, where it roars, seethes and bubbles, and remains.<\/p>\n<p>For it is that beast, and nothing other, that sears together the two sides of her emu-tape&#8212;that burns away the division between the unglued side and the side that binds.<\/p>\n<p>On her way down Brygmir draws out the souls of the worms writhing in their ceiling-holes, extrudes them, weaves them together into the colorless tape of worms.<\/p>\n<p>She stops to bargain with the forgotten men&#8212;I will call them men, though they are not human, quite, nor male, quite: for such were they last called&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>On her way down Brygmir stops to bargain with the forgotten men, in their forgotten city, who dwell between the sun-beast and the world. It is the greys and beiges of their dolor that give their color to Brygmir\u2019s tape.<\/p>\n<p>. . . Jenna writes these things; but it is difficult. She seeks to tell you of them&#8212;but it is difficult!<\/p>\n<p>There is a vibration in the floor.<\/p>\n<p>There is a vibration in the floor. There is a rattling in the air. Everywhere there is an un-Brygmiring noise, a noise to de-gel Brygmir; it makes the concepts of Brygmir, piled one upon the other, not adhere.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps this is a crossing of layers.<\/p>\n<p>Jenna has often noted of late that her reality shapes itself to the model of her fiction. It is perhaps a karmic judgment on her for putting so much of Jenna in her work. So, perhaps it is a crossing of layers; perhaps her work here mirrors Brygmir\u2019s. Perhaps this noise is the <em>same difficulty<\/em> as that of smithing Brygmir\u2019s tape.<\/p>\n<p>. . . For an emu does not naturally attach onto a wall, you know; nor does the fire of the sun-beast bind easily to souls, or beige, or grey.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually Jenna considers the possibility that it is her air conditioning that is at fault.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it is not functioning properly. Perhaps it is rattling her home, on some deep and subsonic level; perhaps her floor, the air, her ears, her <em>mind<\/em> resounds with it, the A\/C malfunction, the rattling of the breathing of the beast.<\/p>\n<p>She fishes up her A\/C control. She clicks it off.<\/p>\n<p>In that moment the idling, rattling sound converts itself. The motorcycle on the street below revs loud its idling engine; roars like some forlorn, abandoned sun-beast; and it drives away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>There are some who will doubt this story; some who will imagine that it is fiction. They will say: Jenna, that button does not <em>control<\/em> motorcycles, nor do they idle beneath your window for the hours that this demands.<\/p>\n<p>There are some who will doubt this story; but I will tell you, it is true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Youtube Trailer The Indiegogo Campaign! &nbsp; Bonus Story! \u201cWhy is my floor vibrating?\u201d Jenna thinks. \u201cWhy is there this constant crackling hum in the distance, as there has been for hours?
