What appears to be an older, completed sketchbook sits on the table in front of you. The ink stains that tarnish the cover tell you that it's been well loved over the years. A quick flip through of the pages confirms your thoughts — every page is filled to the brim with art. Looks like the artist has written some commentary on each of the pieces as well. Perhaps you take a closer look inside? There's no need to hurry, the artist has to have moved on to a new sketchbook by now.
One day, perhaps, you saw someone chewed up by a gear the size of a building, moving too fast to see. And then the next day you saw them at their post again, skin pink and shiny. Oddly wet. They looked at you and smiled blankly, and you left too fast to pack your bags.

Three days yonder, down my rugged depths, large bodies of floodwater sprawled in.
This is the creature that started my never-ending project of cataloguing every magical bird I can find. It all started on my journey through space…

But I do remember standing in the presence of a Cairn, no taller than my shoulder.
I might as well have been an alien on my first day of school here.
I didn't look like one, though. My skin wasn't green and my eyes weren't black. I looked just like them.

The Journal of Aframos Longjourney, Pilgrim

Shattered glass,
Or maybe confetti with a bit of snow,
Flew out of my mouth.
At night I begin to sag.
My eyes become leaden
And my brain turns cotton.

Glass Apartments (For Janelle)
Those houses that I pass at evening with keyhole windows
seem as other worlds.
