Sometimes portals open up at the worst moments. You’ll be sitting on the toilet and the 9th Dimension will be like, “hey, time to go,” with zero time to pull up your pants before you’re sucked in with a flush. Luckily the 9th Dimension has little use for pants, or for your body. That’s the one fun thing about these impromptu portals showing up – the intense sensation of morphing. Feeling your heart melt. Here on earth we feel our changes slowly over time, willfully ignorant to the moments we inhabit, hushing our melting hearts until it’s time to go.
