Lucian's Spring Thing 2026 Reviews (latest: meminerimus)

Cyclic Fruition Number One
D E Haynes

“Railway stations age like old words. With every repetition we precipitate new meaning.”

That’s the first line of this work. It sounded evocative! And then I re-read it a few times, and decided it did not actually make any sense.

Which means we’re in one of those, I dunno, vibe games? Where the point of the game lies somewhere beyond literal meaning, and you have to sort of intuit your way forward.

Or, because you’re me, the whole thing escapes you and you just try to be methodical instead, because I am, at my heart, a pragmatic person, and while I have at least a vague appreciation for the metaphorical/metaphysical/philosophical/abstruse/random, it’s not particularly my mode.

I clicked on things a lot, ended up seeing the same pages a lot, then differences started showing up, and it took me to a page entitled “Saved by the Junk DLC #1: Dialogue and Action” It seemed like an ending? I am calling it an ending. I am not particularly convinced it is an ending.

Did the author have anything to say? I cannot say! The evidence seems to point to ‘yes’?
Did I have something to do? Try to figure out the answer to the first question, and fail.
