Into the Labyrinth

There is something about Labyrinth that just hits me wrong sometimes.

Like, it makes me SUPER moody. I don't know what it is, and it doesn't happen every time, but it... awakens something alien in me.

I know there's a story in here, if I could ever find the damned thing, but the way I write, and the way I get when it hits me... they just don't mesh.

I talk about some of my fey characters being alien - and it's true. From the perspective of the characters writing, there is nothing at home in those fey to talk to. But this... this is something different. Even if my narrating character doesn't get them, I've always been able to relate to my fey, to see where they're coming from, what makes them tick, how it's different than the human (or otherwise) perspective. But this place...

I don't know what it is, but something about Labyrinth is just magic.
