In a dimly lit corner of an otherwise mundane disabled-toilet cubicle the air seems to thicken with an otherworldly tension. The flickering fluorescent light casts elongated shadows on the twlight-tiled walls, their edges wavering like ripples.
Maybe the toilet itself is no ordinary fixture? It seems now that its porcelain surface bears cryptic symbols etched into the rim, as if etched in by unseen entities. The flush handle resembles an antique key, its tarnished brass glinting in the spectral glow. When pulled, it emits a low, resonant hum.
The mirror above the sink reflects fractured glimpses of a roadside scene, pylons stretch into the distance, dark clouds move rapidly above, faint mists drift by the roadside. Staring into it, one might catch sight of their doppelgänger wandering this desolate highway.
Exit is unlikely as when the door creaks open all it reveals is a narrow corridor. Mauve mist clings to the walls, the floor gives slightly, as though walking on the meniscus. The walls are line with graffiti scrawled there—half-formed sentences, nonsensical equations.
You read:
Daagolenyfo breaths walls,
Oncebeus evanuit quod erat umbra
Pnolodolia kells enoch noch?
Quis est?
Merci…
