What does a scanner see... Clearly or darkly?

If you know the fragmented quote, then you can probably gather what my state of mind is like these days. Between work, chronic insomnia, life (a word I use loosely), play-testing Old Republic, and the November Novel Writing Contest (50K words in 30 days), I’m pretty sure there are only a few charred synapses still flickering inside my head. Still, there’s enough neurons left up there in the dark to be inspired by the work I discover here. Followed a lovely link (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6933813) and found myself spending half the night going through notes for an old novel.
But I suppose I shouldn’t be completely surprised. Inspiration seems to hit me in threes… random snippets of art or literature that come together in a matter of days to ignite a burning need to create. In this case, a Sith Inquisitor, Mika’s art, and Philp K. Dick’s In memoriam from A Scanner Darkly. Odd combo, sure, but it got me working, so who am I to question it? Will it transform into something, who knows. At the very least, I’m brushing away the dust to see what lies beneath.
