TMA Entities as Colorado Gothic things

The Buried - Do not explore the mines alone. The mountains are hungry, the gold rush gave them a taste for blood and they want more. They have not been fed in years.

The Corruption - Pine Beetles turning once green mountainsides grey with the corpses of the trees they devour.

The Dark - Have you ever been camping in the depths of the Rockies? You'll want to keep a lantern with you.

The Desolation - The summer and fall wildfires and the smoke that wafts over the front range from them, sometimes swallowing the mountains and burning your eyes.

The End - The coffin races in Manitou Springs.

The Extinction - The alleged bunkers under DIA.

The Eye - Have you ever been in a grove of aspen trees?

The Flesh - Greely. Need I say more?

The Hunt - Do not investigate the yowls of the coyotes at night. No matter how human they sound.

The Lonely - The open plains of the east. Don't bother with the few and far-between farmhouses, all you'll find are splinters and mold.

The Slaughter - There's a reason the rocks are such a bright red here.

The Spiral - The Stanley Hotel isn't haunted. Oh boy is it not haunted, but trying to understand what lurks there will simply twist your mind further.

The Stranger - You're not sure if the person who went to the four corners is the same person who came back.

The Vast - Be careful when you visit Rocky Mountain National Park. The sky might just snap you up if you get too close to the edges.

The Web - Ever notice Buell theater's show attendees never notice the strings?

Colorado Gothic

The sweet song of the pines is very alluring and the forest will protect you, but don't let her fool you. Never tread further than the edge of the forest, or she'll never let you leave.

Never take an airplane east to escape a blizzard. The mountains will come to swallow your craft. Wait until the white sky settles onto the ground.

If you leave from Denver International Airport: Don't make eye contact with the blue stallion. Don't linger on the tram lines for too long. Don't stare down the tunnels you're not traveling through. You're already past the checkpoint, and something might follow you home.

The orange liquid they coat the planes with is not for the ice. The ice learns.

Never let the mountains leave your sight or you'll get lost in the endless plains.

Don't follow the tracks in the snow. Especially if they trail into the meadow.

If a tumbleweed rolls over your feet, turn back. Or you'll end up like them.

In the dark, the forest can't protect you. The pines shiver. They are afraid. Don't look deeper into the forest.

The rocks are red here. They are rich in Iron. Its just one more thing you've got in common.

“Aureus” gets a video because metallic watercolors are hard to photograph.

Wildfires Gothic

Today, I can't see the mountains.

That's how I know it's summer.

When I look up with stinging eyes and see the sun stained red.

That's how I know it's summer.

When I'm not sure if the heat is from the earthly blaze or the heavenly one.

That's how I know it's summer.

When I'm not sure if the cloud-cover is from smoke or if it's actual clouds.

That's how I know it's summer.

When I think I can almost feel beetles crawling on my skin and the green leaves my surroundings

That's how I know it's summer.

Sunnyside Cemetery, Victor, Colorado.

[Finding places where the wooden memorials are still standing is incredible!]

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

A story about those who revel in the grotesque- about the inherent contradictory nature of dogma- about the red string of fate being pulled so tightly that it strangles. Nothing but meat and candy.
