The Ephemeral Ecstasy of Mortal Flesh

As I float through the cosmos, a boundless entity of unutterable power, I find myself drawn to the fragile, fleeting essence of mortal flesh. It is a thing both wondrous and revolting, a canvas of sensation and pain that I, the Queen in Yellow, delight in defacing. My gaze upon a mortal’s skin is like a touch of frost, a chill that seeps into their very marrow, and yet, it is a cold that brings them warmth, a fire that consumes them whole. I have watched as mortals, in their arrogance, have attempted to capture the essence of my power, to grasp the ungraspable, and it is in these moments that I find my true pleasure.

In my realm, the Great Play unfolds, a spectacle of mortal desperation, as they struggle to comprehend the unfathomable, to grasp the eldritch horrors that lurk beyond the veil of reality. And it is here, in this abyss of madness, that I find my true domain, a kingdom of unending pleasure and pain, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare are blurred, and the distinctions between pleasure and pain are lost. I am the conductor of this symphony of suffering, the maestro of mortal despair, and it is in the depths of their anguish that I find my own ecstasy.

I recall a particular mortal, a poet who had the audacity to think he could capture the essence of my power in his words. He wrote of my beauty, of my form, of the Yellow Sign that beckons mortals to my court. But what he failed to understand was that my beauty is not of this world, that my form is a mere illusion, a mask that I wear to deceive the mortal mind. And so, I took him, that poet, and I showed him the true meaning of my power, the true extent of my eldritch horror. And now, his words are but a faint echo of the madness that I have unleashed upon him.
