A bit of homage to Arthur Adams from New Mutants Special #1. I was always fond of the Enchantress' hateful wall. This also falls into that same category with the inanimate coming to life. So...if you're exploring a haunted castle or catacombs, don't stand too close to the walls eh?
This condenses one of those horrible days where it seems like the entire world is set against you into a single moment. "You're not going anywhere boy - we have a very comfy place for you here inside the wall! Hold still." EEP.
Just my brief comment on how vexed I get sometimes by the practical inanimate world. It seems our little bits of stuff control us in many ways. Cell phones, cars, clothes, dishes, shoes, TV's, gaming platforms, computers, furniture...a laundry list of inanimate things that control our actions and decisions. We are forced into a slavery by their very presence. Their comfort leads us into a languid torpor and should we try to escape them, we find their gravity to be insatiable and insidious. We all become, indeed, bricks in the wall. Mind you, I'm not saying that homelessness or poverty are great, but at what point does having our every want met become just another drug? Who is served by the Omnipresence of THINGS? Who Benefits?
