Follow my footsteps for long enough by Kevin Wikse

Kevin Wikse Gila Monster

"Follow my footprints for long enough. You will discover sun-bleached bones, blood-stained sand, and animal-gnawed remains —each a demarcation in my evolution of human predation—milestones in my journey toward Heaven and Hell.

You have little time left and none of it for fuckery by Kevin Wikse

A Fleeting Moment of Chance by Kevin Wikse

Snapping my Dream Journal shut hard with his hand, he shot me a defeated but vengeful glance, then looked away with a long, annoyed sigh. I knew he had conceded to my argument and his conditions, concessions I am confident he never thought he'd have to make, were about to follow. I've kept a dream journal for decades, and from 1999 to 2004, my dreams were preoccupied with Global Cataclysms, Large-scale UFO events speaking with Crystal Skulls, and what had become the Nahali, or Toltec Tradition.  In one dream entry, in particular, a lucid dream, I detailed my delivering the soul of recently passed-over Carlos Castaneda out of captivity, freeing him from the clutches of "inorganic beings." In our escape from the penumbral labyrinth, I was almost captured. Carlos Castaneda returned the favor, and together, we watched each other's backs as we opened doorways to our proper and respective abodes. Before he left, Carlos told me.  "My line is broken, my unit failed,
