Sanctuary

My sanctuary is always warm, even when everywhere else is cold. It has everything I need: a bed (warm, obviously), a television with several well stocked game consoles, and a computer with dual monitors for dual convenience. It's a comfortable existence, but sanctuary implies not just warmth and safety inside, but also escape from danger outside. I'm not sure exactly what's out there, but I'm not about to go check.

Forest

I was lost in the Forest of Hope. Sure it sounds a lot nicer than the Forest of Despair, but you can still die in there. Hope can be debilitating too. You could also be eaten by a bear. Of Happiness.

Part Two
Forest Whitaker was tired. Filming is an exhausting process, but this film in particular was really taking it out of him. He took his time loading his bag onto the elevator, and could barely muster the energy to hit the number for his floor. The doors opened on the next floor and Forest instantly jolted wide awake. There, looking quite put out, was his archnemesis, the man who's very name was antithetical to his own, and meant the destruction of everything that is Forest.
"Who's been holding up the damn elevator?"
It was DeForest Kelley

Superstition

1: What's your favorite superstition?
2: Hit your mother in the back with a sledgehammer, break your mothers back.
1: I don't think that counts as a superstition.
2: Well that depends on the meaning of superstition. Super means greater than or above.
1: In this case I think it's a reference to supernatural. Above or beyond natural. Unnatural.
2: Nothing natural about hitting your mother in the back with a sledgehammer.
1: Well if you put it that way.
2: But what does stition mean?

Disfigurement Part Two

1: And that's the way it is son.
2: Well gee Pop, how do you figure?
1: Well son, how do you disfigure?
2: Gee Pop, I never thought of it like that.

This post is an installment in a continuing series on 'Disfigurement'. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one doing this one.

Disfigurement

Being mentally disfigured is a lot like being physically disfigured. Except that people in the streets don't stare at your mental disfigurements. Or avoid looking at them to keep themselves form staring. Also physical disfigurements often come with a disability, whereas mental disfigurements I'm not even sure of what that means.

The rest of this post is illegible due to it being disfigured. Physically, not mentally. If it was just mental you could still read it, though what you read might disturb you.
