Okay, let me test this out.

Alright, so I want to continue talking about my story, Flight of Horus. I received my Pyres two days ago. Four rolls of four meter long Pyres and I can't wait to start putting some stories on there. I've thought more about Flight of Horus and I want to stick with the beginning that it starts with a man committing suicide. Much like the debate between a man and his father and then of course ultimately the story is about how the soul revisits his entire life and the process of trying to save his soul in the afterlife. In the end the soul is taken to the end that the soul actually leaves. One could argue that the soul is actually returning to him as a child. It doesn't really matter. I don't want there to be any kind of ambiguity because I think that's the story of life. We really don't know if we are someone else or anything like that. Our afterlife is someone else's afterlife. All of us, all of our lives are important. I think it's also just a beautiful ending. The main part of the story, the story in 30 seconds is a man commit suicide, descends into the afterlife, discovers that he has basically no reason to be there. The guardians of the underworld essentially ask him where is he literally, where are your papers, where is your story, who are you? He's essentially lost it because he's committed suicide. So he has to rediscover it. Through many round about little vignettes, he attempts to rediscover who he is, what's really happening is the readers getting to enjoy all these little stories that are powerful in themselves about life and all that. I want to model them after the spells. Ultimately, the man comes back with what he thinks is a set of stories to the guardians of the afterlife, the underworld. There's no way to figure out what decision they make about him because the soul eventually, maybe his soul is lost, he can't find it. Maybe we, the reader is given a private flashback to the moment where he jumped. He watches the, or maybe it happens in the beginning, but watches the soul leave him and join many other souls to look like, you know, anonymous. Don't know who you are anymore. You know, join the one of many thousands of souls, but yet his soul has no more identity. It's now ready to bond again with another human essentially, another spirit. So, but anyway, I also want to emphasize the format of this papyrus, you know. Papyrus is essentially one continuous paper. You know, the obviously more transportable property derived concept of the book is less conducive to the notion of time, or the fact that time will continue. The life will continue regardless of whether you not want it to or not. But papyrus, there is no page you can stop at and put a bookmark essentially. You either have it rolled out or you roll it up. And so, that's what I find very interesting. In some ways, you have to finish it to start it again. So, that's life. You have to finish it to start again. So, that's all I really wanted to say. You know, little other side notes, you know, I've done a couple experiments on papyrus so far. I think I have to work on the colors a little bit more, but it's definitely going to have like a set of earth tones to it. I don't know if I deviate from those earth tones, it will be for some other sort of emphasis. Probably going to stick with acrylic ink and let's take a figure out some other type of ink. Yeah, that's it.
