A Card Deck Landscape Triggers Stories Out of Nowhere

How cards expose some souvenirs from the folds of an unknown dimension

Playing solitaire after reading Tales of Ireland,
I just stopped on a step, getting a sensation,
As an image reaches my consciousness :
Two kings warring in the plain,
Refugees hiding in the mountains.
A parallel story out of nowhere.

We bear millions of stories,
We just don’t have enough time
To explore and expose them.
The slightest support of our attention
Creates a new world from/in parallel dimensions.
We meet triggers everywhere,
They don’t need to have any meaning,
— just to be,
And their mere existence triggers
The come back of an anonymous story
From the folds of an unknown dimension.
