A contribution by Nell374

Somewhere within a labyrinth of ravines, at the bottom of a narrow, twisting crevice, there is a pool so sheltered from the wind that the water’s surface, though unfrozen, is never marred by a single ripple.

—

You can remember when you learned of the glass water. You were a child, and it was supposed to be nothing more than a fanciful story, but the tale burrowed into you. You’ve dreamed of the pool while asleep and awake ever since.

No one who repeats the story has any clear idea where it is. Most of the leg work has been yours to manage—some of it literal. You’ve become good at cartography, geography, and wilderness survival. Holding down a job is difficult, though. There always comes a moment when you know with total certainty that the work is pulling you farther away from the glass water, a threat to core out some essential part of you.

So you leave. And you leave, and you leave. And in between, though you’re tired, you keep looking.

●  I feel like praying. What a heart throb

●  I've been listening to this for hours now at work, in an absolute trance. Very well constructed =)

Create Your Own

Use a laptop or desktop computer, as you will be asked to use keyboard shortcuts.

To create your custom composite generator, browse the site for slider contents: open any generator on myNoise, and select the sliders you want to use in your custom set by 'zeroing' all others, then hit [c] to collect all active sliders into a hidden stack. Move to a next generator and repeat the process until you have accumulated 10 sliders. Now hit [shift+c] to render your custom composite generator. At any point, press [x+c] to clear the hidden stack.
