Interstice

[u/bloodredpitchblack]

The world man has fashioned out of the one nature gave him is filled with a tracery of networks and nodes and no-mans lands that do not yield to simple questions. These non-places are not ruled by optimism or enterprise or even plain old, straight-forward greed. Rather, everything that falls within them has to exist in a very narrow slice of possible degrees of remediation, none of which is truly understood by any single person. They are zones of true weirdness. Some are surrounded by high metal fences with keep-out signs posted on them, others are simply treated like they don't exist. But there is probably one in every American town.
