practice prose : theme of perception

The next paragraph is the description, the next line is some backstory. Something I cooked up trying to find my style in writing, also to deal with writing burnout from my wip, I would've kept this to myself but I think I've really cooked some good stories attempting this, I'll upload the rest if I even see one comment, this is just to test the waters.

Weird.
