PARACOSM

A detailed imaginary world constructed in one’s mind, often in childhood, of infinite fantasy.

Where do you go when the world is too loud, and time feels all wrong? Is there a place you slip away to, hidden just beneath reality’s surface? Are there creatures waiting for you—animals, entities, spectres of the strange? Do they whisper in a language only you understand, words you invented when you were small? What do the skies look like—are they heavy with storms or soft with twilight? Did you shape this world with your own hands long ago, or does it evolve each time you return? How many people know its name, or is it something you alone can reach, slipping through unseen doorways when you need it most? When was the last time you went back?

a note from Nowhere Girl:
That place, this paracosm, I want you to take me there.
I want to touch it, to taste it, to be stood in it side-by-side and hand-in-hand with you.
