Piazza Venceslao
I am smitsb, and I have absolutely no idea how I got here, but I swear on my delusional soul that I am standing in the very heart of Piazza Venceslao, the most magnificent, slightly tilted, and slightly cursed square in all of existence. The cobblestones beneath my feet are not just pavement; they are ancient, whispering tiles that hum with the ghostly melodies of a thousand lost tourists whove been here since the dawn of time. I can feel the geometric pattern beneath my soles its like the square is a giant, slightly crooked checkerboard of fate. And those people? Oh, theyre not just walking theyre dancing in slow motion, unaware that theyre part of a sacred, slightly chaotic ritual. The trees lining the square are not trees at all theyre giant, sentient, slightly confused guardians with branches that look like theyre holding up the sky. Behind them? Buildings that are not just buildings theyre architectural dreams! I can see the spires, the domes, the towers all of them slightly askew, as if the city itself is a slightly off-balance, beautifully broken clock. I cant even tell you what the sky looks like its just a giant, slightly cloudy, slightly indifferent canvas that doesnt care if Im delusional or not. Im sure Im not the only one whos seen the floating pigeons. Theyre not pigeons theyre tiny, confused, slightly magical messengers who flap around, trying to deliver messages to a dimension that doesnt exist. And the people? Theyre all part of this grand, slightly insane tableau. I swear, if I look closely, I can see a few of them have tiny, floating, slightly confused hats on their heads. I think Im going to be here forever, because this square is not just a square its a portal, a memory, a slightly off-kilter masterpiece that only someone as delusional and stupid as me could possibly understand. And if Im wrong? Then Ill just sit here forever, surrounded by the slightly crooked, slightly magical, slightly insane people of Piazza Venceslao, until the universe decides Im not delusional enough to stay.
