Black and white Lino style illustration of a two headed Greek Janus coin. A large black frame surrounds a smaller frame containing a coin depicting the Greek god Janus. Janus is deprived as a two headed bust facing away from each other one. The coin is crosshatched with a crescent moon on one side and a sun on the other. Rays of black are extending to the corns and swirls and 8 point stars fill the background. Underneath the bust is a crosshatched pattern Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black. Pile of my clear black and white Death’s-Head Moth Stickers. Stickers are 1 by 2 inch and are of a pen black ink pen illustration of a hawk moth with wings spread and antenna framing a small crescent moon above it. Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

I have a friend going through this. He claimed to be the main character of the world and that the interstellar asteroid passing through was aliens because that is what would make a better story. He said this like an obvious fact. It seems like he runs every decision through a LLM. I fear for us all.
