>‘Don’t climb the rock! You’ll die!’
> ‘What a stupid voice.’,
From your picrel, I’m gleaning you’re perhaps a fan of prehistoric organisms?
The rock-ladder progression you make from the ocean-ooze to scaffold-dom is interesting from an evolutionary lens, but after reading JimmyTard’s Odysseus references, maybe this voice is, like, a reverse Siren-song?
Or a reverse-psychology Siren-song?
Like, maybe it was annonying and stupid on purpose to make sure you continue doing the thing that will turn out to be wrong?
IDK, I’m going to stop interpreting here—the obvious takeaway is that you seem to be under a lot of pressure, PIGS +.
We’re built to see tempests in teapots—that’s how our species got this far—so I wouldn’t think too much about what all that terror is supposed to “mean.”
I’ll just finish with saying that I had a fear-flung nested-dream like this in college that I still remember to this day, but I won’t share it unless you want to hear it.

>The Tale of Sinuhe sounds awesome! How does it read? Whenever I've read ancient stuff im always so surprised about how modern it feels.
More than well-paced—it’s billed as a poem, but it’s essentially a variety-text proto-novel.
And the MC is my favorite kind of enigma—quantum-physics in their motivations (at least through my interpretation).
Insane how rays of the wordplay’s ingeniuty still shine through, even after almost 3,000 years, translated into English:
Papyrus grows in marshes; Egyptians use papyrus and live in marshes along the Nile; here the erudite Egyptian MC (Sinuhe) is in the Syrian mountains amongst illiterate Bedouin-barbarians, bemoaning how he and they are incompatible geographically, linguistically, and culturally all in one-and-a-half lines.
