A being of nothingness,
such as a ghost like myself,
is a being of possibility,
as possibility paves
the nothingness around me,
through me.

A shapeshifter, too, 
must know that nothingness 
that becomes all that is real.

And so, I am in and I am
my costume, the costume 
of costumes infinite.

[in darker text, harder to read:]

Happy Halloween.

         Now give me
          ghost candy
           or I will eat
             you and use
                your bones
                    to scare
                      the next
                         house.

Happy Halloween. This poetic ghost has escaped her own canon, at everyone's peril, and has decided to costume for Halloween.

She is dressed as Shesheshen, the shapeshifter protagonist of the novel Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell.

Please enjoy this as a Halloween treat and/or curse.

That novel is really lovely and I recommend it if you like a protagonist who is truly non-human and monstrous and needs to constantly be aware of that fact to keep herself together. Also, it's a lesbian romance. Cozy horror, ya know? It can be good.

had the silly thought "illegal motorsports should be an olympic sport where they should get points off for doing anything obviously legal"

but then I realized that's basically just the 1975 film Death Race 2000

Quite sure that not editing at all and just running microsoft word 2003 grammar and spell check would do much better than anything the AI would come up with.

Reunea & Leunea is now complete. If you were waiting to read it all at once, you may now read all 116 pages. I recommend visiting the Neocities site for the best experience.

Thank you to all who have read this postmodern digital picture book so far and pre-thank-you to those who intend to do so.

Reunea: Leunea, why are we still here? We already did this on page 48.

Leunea: Because we did not get to say "the end," Reunea.

Reunea: Oh, that is true. The end, Leunea.

Leunea: The end, Reunea.

Reunea: Ah, Leunea, it looks like the book is over, directly now.

Leunea: Why do you say that, Reunea?

Reunea: Because that lady is over there.

Leunea: That is true. The book must be over.

On the opposite page, there is an About the Author page.

Leunea: What is your opinion of my illustration, Reunea?

Reunea: It is astonishing, Leunea.

Leunea: Thank you, my sister.

Reunea: What is your opinion of my ghost poem, Leunea?

Leunea: It is strange, but interesting.
	
Reunea: Then I believe we are in agreement.

Leunea: Yes, Reunea.

Leunea pulls the rope, raising the curtain and revealing her masterpiece: a painting, much like the ladybug from before, of the ghost from Reunea's ghost poem riding the ladybug from before. It is dramatic and majestic, though the ladybug seems even sadder than in Part One.

Reunea: Wow.

Leunea is holding a rope attached to a very large curtain.

Leunea: It is behind this curtain, Reunea. I will now reveal my masterpiece.

Reunea: Please do, Leunea.

On this page, Reunea seems to have retained the taller body of the ghost in the ghost poem.

Leunea: Did the ghost poem change you that much, Reunea?

Reunea: Ah. No, Leunea. It will just take a moment to fully wear off.

Leunea: I see.

Reunea is back to her old self. The sisters stare at each other in silence. There is understanding in their eyes. It is a beautiful moment.

Folks, Israel is not letting aid in which means Palestinians continue to have to buy food on the black market from Israel sponsored gangs. If you can donate a little money to the fundraisers we're posting, you can keep someone alive. Palestinians wouldn't beg if they didn't have to.

Realistically, rather removed from internet scene...also to be honest I don't know many people who listen to OPN that much, I think he's more niche right now than he was a decade ago.
