Mesphos, The

From The Encyclopaedia Expurgatia

The Mesphos, as a concept, came into the game of the English language [which is now very nearly extinct, due, in part, to the regional colloquialisms of such communicationally narcoleptic entities as, to name but one, the Internet] along with its patron religion.

The religion stated that a lone being, known as the Wan, who had no real power, wealth, fame, nor friends in his world, ultimately suffered a schizophrenic embolism, fractured into millions of separate personalities, and turned inward upon himself to view this new, psychotically manufactured world as a sort of ambiguous, paratransitional deity.

Hence, all homosapiens, according to the religion, were separate personalities in the Wan’s intrinsic psychodrama, though some of these humans have greater-sized fractures and, therefore, have greater power and potential.

Some of these more prolific humans actually had the power to break through the confines of the Wan’s embolism to view the real world on the other side.

Jim Morrison was rumoured to be one such human.

In order to transcend the dimensional shift from this embolistic world to that world which truly existed, that world of which the Wan was so desperately terrified, one had to travel through the Mesphos: a terrifying place within itself, though less terrifying that the Wan’s real world, and yet more terrifying than having the television break, lodged on the Weather Channel on Saturday night and knowing fully well that the cable office doesn’t open again until Monday morning at six.

Of course there were the little things which helped to comprise the premise of terror in the Mesphos: the noises, the bizarre jet streams which spiralled to and fro without discernible patterns or outcomes; but above all that, and above the more indescribable elements of the Mesphos, the most terrifying aspect was the incomprehensible, if mocking, lack of reference point.
