Nula: Butterflies Rise is a decision-making game that explores the experience of living with anxiety.
Inspired by puzzle adventure games of the early 90s like Myst, the surreal comedy of Flann O'Brien, and the author's experience of living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Nula creates an immersive textual experience, an insight into the daily struggle anxiety can be.

Hallucinations

•
sun
sculpts
space, re-
combines the room
a shaft as yellow
as the memory of yellow,
a memory of light without context

desire spasms to stars
ecstatic
contractions
to wake to the smell of his skin & not recall
his name,
or my own
slumberous eye
o
you deceive
perceiving horror
in the twisted trees
a wink of wings
peripherally

breaths
between branches
catch
small doubts
in my
sanity



Inhale
—
absconding the body
to think well
or not at all
eyes on mind
white silence
pooling
in the contours
of my consciousness
What is it
to want
to be
so high?

petrichor
after clouds
after language
no need for
words
with you
here
languid
only the
seats
like sundials
speak
the
lateness
of
our
hour

I breathe the length of a slow bow.
The tension of metal,
horse hair,
the friction between
body
between
thighs
One long stroke
passes,
elapses
gasps

night buckles
to the blue hour
tender
virga
bittersweet in-seeing
in
limb-swept sheets
plumed patience
rapt
tonguelessness
*
I try to recall something
that I
knew
it is they who are sighing,
I believe it
the
image
aggrieves
even
(years) later

the blade of your cheek
x
smiles to the wind
enveloping us
later,
the verbena,
shy,
phosphorescent

I think his eyes were open.

reading your words with my body
(they are able to part and open, fold and denude)
If you kiss the idea of me, I’ll still feel it
(sinew and fluid)
broached geographies
(closing is as much as opening)
It gives a pretext for travel,
/ to run
(so the difficult vanishes)
/ ennui
(you’re dividing a limited quantity)
/ to See.
