Everything was great but...
I was brought back to that foggy morning in late September — my father in his rickety ol' rocking chair, cigar billowing above him. The complete look of distain and regret that marred his features whenever he set eyes on me. The harrowing notion that I wasn't wanted, a stain in his life that was otherwise filled with nothing. There wasn't space for me despite this. Despite the void that my mother left in her absence.
I live in this choking, ever-expanding, awe-inducing mist, but it means nothing to me. I see through it and I can let it swell in me despite what it truly means.
My soul is insubstantial.
I linger longer in this endless, airless, empty, and desolate place. I am drifting but I am also being hurled at such visceral speeds that I can’t even fathom what is happening.
My mind is insubstantial.
I am fueled by selfish ambitions. These ambitions create this blinding rage within me. I watch and I see yet I do not understand, and the desire to understand is the selfish ambition. The desire doesn’t cease, though. I don’t believe it ever will. My weeping though, someday that will end.
My woes are insubstantial.
My heart reeks of this bitter aura that emanates from it. Bulging, swelling, selfish and greedy. Du verstehst nicht, ich krümmte mich vor angst.
My wishes are insubstantial.
My limbs shake and my eyes waver. A constant tremor runs through my body. Is it fear? Is it hatred? Is it simply my body failing? I'm never given a clear answer. Black fills my vision, and violent electric lights. I feel unsteady and weak. Am I to lose all devotion, and be contained in apathy?
My body is insubstantial.
Neverending apathy and rage. This apathy was created for a reason. It shields and deflects from what truly matters; another selfish action. Everything moves so blindingly quick but also moves as slow as a disgusting tick, stationary and nothing but greedy.
My world is insubstantial.
He looks at me and I feel tired. He screams, he cries, he is the embodiment of all that is anger.
He looks at me and I feel afraid. Hands. Bleak memory. He is the embodiment of remembrance.
She is a whip and I am too weak to escape. She is the embodiment of my cowardliness.
She is a broken bird, her heart will never be the same. She is the embodiment of sadness.
He is visceral. He is wild. His woes have made him who he is. He is the embodiment of hurt.
I am the embodiment of disgust.
I am insubstantial.
And that's what I got reminded of when the banana pudding was missing from the rich array, and when I questioned it's absence, I saw the same sneer my father once...

Listen, if you think buffets are all about chaos and sad food trays, think again. King Buffet is here to flip that script—clean, sharp, and seriously aesthetic, this place has it all and then some.
From the moment you walk in, you know this isn’t your average buffet. The setup? Immaculate. The vibe? Modern but inviting. You actually want to snap a pic (yes, finally a buffet that gets the selfie memo).
