these trees can swallow you whole

roots grow through bones and eat them

tall mountains of this valley rise higher and higher

leaving you in a deep crater filling with dirt

sky that was once bright blue now a deep dark brown of the earth

honey brown eyes now smooth stones of amber

brain once full of thoughts and dreams now a thick bed of moss

and the roots grow through bones leaving nothing behind

one thing remains

the heart

it joins that of the forest and you beat as one

Cabin Terra head cannons

-Instead of coffee we drink honeysuckle nectar, at least we used to until we noticed that the bees were sad. Then we started making our own

-There are skylights in the ceiling that open when it rains, so the moss floor and flowers get watered

-The bees never sting terra campers, but they do sting those who are mean to us

-We have a worm bin for food scraps. We use the worm poop as fertilizer

-Anything thats meant to stay dry is stores in waterproof sets of drawers

-The cabin smells like a forest after a rainstorm

-Any mushroom that grows in the cabin is safe to eat

-Edible flowers, need I say more?

-The excess honey that the bees make are turned into candies

-Pet raccoon

-Dirt under everyones fingernails

The first spring flowers are starting to sprout in the DCD garden! I’m so excited, I’ve been told by almost everyone that gardens are at their most beautiful in spring.

An upperclassmen said that they’d teach me to make natural dyes from marigolds, and the best way to dry chamomile flowers for tea.

You know when you watch those movies?

Where the main character goes on adventures without a second thought?

When they get on a plane and cross oceans with half a plan

They climb the highest mountains, swim the deepest shores

They explore the world where the sky opens up above them, large enough to swallow you whole

You know those movies?

They leave a hole of want in my gut, a longing to feel the air beneath the wings of a plane, the road beneath the wheels of a car

The wind of your hometown leaving, leaving, leaving

The hole can fit mountains and oceans and forest and sky

Fits people and places and friendships and love

Adventure is out there, and I want to be brave enough to find it

Midnights of Averno

The late nights of swinging from hammocks in the dcd barn, talking with friends. Time moves so slowly as the stars spin overhead. Mountan dew, monster, and coffee lay half forgotten as we ignore how tired we are.

Conversation flows like the creek running through the forest, and we're as close as close can be. One by one we fall asleep, heads in laps and legs intertwined. Glasses askew and clothing still on.

several snowmen have appeared on campus. They're all somewhat off. None of them have impacted the snow around them, as in is seems like they've been dropped from the heavens. There is no evidence that they've been made other then their existence.

One of them glows ever so slightly. One doesn't look structurally sound but can't be knocked down. Ones eyes contain galaxies, don't look into their eyes, you'll be stuck until someone finds you. One has decorations entirely made of gummy bears.

All we know is that we know nothing at all

In honor of the ides of march, all of A New School came together to create a historical reenactment.

One of the professors volunteered to be Cesar. Foam knives and togas made by the DCD were handed out to everyone. The planning of the actual stabbing was an excellent exercise in planning large events and leadership.

It went fairly smoothly, Cesar was successfully stabbed multiple times.

Everyone wore their togas for the rest of the week.

I have oil paint on my haaands and now I have to wait two days before touching anything bc it will get everywheeere.

on another note, someone made a potato cannon for some physics project. A bunch of people joined in and we all went out to fire potatoes into the forest. I don’t think the forest creatures were too happy, but now they have countless potatoes to do whatever they want with.

Find Them

I can’t stop seeing this sigil. “find them” the shadows whisper, and I’m trying. I’m trying but the clues take me in circles that I can’t understand. “Find Them” they whisper. Again and again until it drowns out my thoughts Find Them Find Them Find Averno Find Them I Can’t I Can’t I don’t understand

I realized I haven’t put some recent pages from the notebook in here

first page

What we currently know. In the 1700’s a witch (unconfirmed) built a cottage with her family. Fundamentalist preacher Abraham Turner (town founder, family still around) killed her family, when he went after the witch she supposedly created a hole between worlds-the forest- a safe haven

The unconfirmed

There is a family of people who live in the forest, specifically within the safe haven created by the witch. Myself and other students refer to them as the Wild Ones. Nova (girl friend of Solar of DUE) a DCD student, came from the forest, but she hasn’t really shared what that was like, other than chronic homesickness. In town, there’s a woman often seen under a willow tree (15ish y/old also seen there. two graves under tree whos?) at the old Anderson farm. Grace, often visiting family, curious ANS students have asked, and she knew one of the Wild Ones. Grace didn’t know her long enough to really learn much about the forest. The only reliable source we have is Nova. All we know is that the Wild Ones know nothing of our world, except swear words. Pop culture references, social customs, and ketchup are all unknown to them.

Second page

In the forest there are many many cryptids. and no, none have been confirmed. I believe the roots to move occasionall, one stole a piece of chocolate from me. There’s bone bug, the three eyed deer, toothshroom, (part of ANS department crests) frog with teeth, neon worms. There’s too many to document, but I will definitely try.

The forest has its own language (how?). We call it dreamspeak. The DDL found it written on the walls of the abandoned grain mill (by who?) The DDL learned to speak it, sign it, and write it. Dreamspeak alphabet written bellow, with pictures of the sign language

page three

collage of pictures of the forest

FIND AVERNO

The lights at A New School have been flickering precariously, as if the entire town is about to fall into darkness. More people have gone missing.

Strange symbols swarm my thoughts. A sygil? A code? I do not know.

The shadows seem darker. The days seem shorter. Even the sun seems harsher, colder.
