A novel in progress
Golden
Dorm
A funny, philosophical and psychedelic adventure novel by Tarickstar—through an impossible gate, and the strange company brave enough to enter.
Follow the path
A gate with no walls. A garden full of questions.
Larry and Lorry arrive by a path so narrow it leads exactly to the entrance. The fractals are ancient and brand new. The doorknobs must be licked. Nothing happens—at first.

Something in between
People fly kites, balance on ropes, play guitars, read books and fill notebooks. The orange juice is very good. Heaven and hell may be closer than expected.
“Fear destroys any good journey.”
From The Piper
And I have a thing for water
And I don't know how to swim
Still all I see is a laughter
A laughter from a dreamAnd what exactly is a dream?
What exactly is a joke?
One artifact from the world
