Something’s Wrong

We’re where it’s most wrong, the wrongness.


Where Livia brought us. Where Livia placed us, knowing what would happen.


Something’s wrong. Our very lives are wrong. Our very hearts are wrong. Our laughter – even our laughter is wrong.


Something’s wrong. And we’re the Most Wrong. We’re the place where wrongness knows itself. Where the wrongness is most deeply concentrated.


Livia knew we were Wrong, capital W. She knew it was a state of being, our Wrongness. And she knew that she had to deepen our Wrongness. To make it worse. And to bring us into awareness of our Wrongness. To awaken us – really awaken us – to our Wrongness.

To make Wrongness reflect on itself. Know itself. See itself in the mirror. That’s what she wanted?

And then what?

And then Wrongness would speak. The Wrong would speak, and in our inverted world, it would become the Right. It would become Rightness. The Wrong would invert itself and become the Right. The Low would inverted and become the High – and even the Most High. Wasn’t that Livia’s mission?


She was casting out demons. She was casting us out. She was casting me out. Because I’m a demon. Because I’m wrong – all of me is wrong. And I thrash about in wrongness. I scream in wrongness. I devour myself in wrongness. And all I want is to be released. I want the weight lifted – my own weight. I want the stone lifted – my own stone. The stone of my life.
