Sometimes the dreams do not just happen at night and sometimes they are in the shadows. Sometimes the people do not speak. It is lonely and strange here but it is strangest in the shadows. In the shadows there are faces that seem unfamiliar and contorted and often distorted. The mind seems large and bloated and difficult to control. Underneath the streets is where the insects go to feed. Sometimes an aphid or centipede will cross the shadow line and learn something about himself that he did not know before. Before the knowledge comes the obsession and then the confession and all of the feet must be washed in the blood of the lamb. All of the citizens and the salamanders and the centipedes from the sewers parade through the streets towards the chaple where even the salamanders know that they will experience an altogether different kind of catharsis.
