A secret land appears in front of your eyes.
Describe it as vividly as you can. Where is it located? Are there people inhabiting it? What are they like? What is the natural flora and fauna? What secrets does the land hold? What are its rules and customs?
The Last Thing I Remembered: It was late fall, I was bracing a stiff wind off the river an Detroit's Lower East side, running an important errand: to purchase tickets to an upcoming Ghoul Show premiering at Dettroit's RollerCade. Tickets were being sold in the Brush Park neighborhood. Street parking always a premium, so from two blocks away,I set on a careful but brisk walk oover ice-patched sidewalks up to the home, I entered the converted Victorian haus/headshop through double doors- of beautifully designed beveled stain-glass panes, and carved paneling below. They bore twin Gothic style knockers. Shaking the cold off, I strode across a loud creaking wood floor past water pipes, turquoise jewelry, circular racks of colorful hippie clothes and a bevy of counterculture items I could have spent plenty of time on. Rugs and psychedelic posters hung on walls. Further in, I noticed the incense dramatically changed. A solid waxed pine door stood ajar, opening to a black-light reading room with worn, but deep, comfortable couches. The room smelled ancient but familiar somehow. Another door led into a packed library of all kinds of books; hardcovers, paperbacks and complete collections from various authors, Crowley, Watts, EA Casey, back issues of Middle Earth, Cream, Rolling Stone, and there, standing next to the fireplace I recognized his frame, flowing curly locks, and approached. "HONE" he said, and removed his glasses, gazing deeply into his soft brown cow-eyed beauties. "So you want to be a manager"? American or National? Making our way back to the reading room, a Dylan song softly wafting in the distance. On opposite couches,we found ourselves in Middle Earth. PAMMCGG
I'm intrigued! Lots of rich details. You have done a great job setting the scene. And you leave me wondering what Dylan son is playing!
