This belongs on the front page. I read it over an hour ago and my skin is still crawling.

Frankly it seems to be saying the exact same things except in five times as many words and a rather boring exposition, that contrasts with the cold but ominously normalizing one of Lena.

Borges famously wrote there are only four stories, retold endlessly.
I think this is an attempt to write a SF story in Lovecraftian mood (hence the language and setting). Lena is written as a hypothetical Wikipedia article.

This reminds me of "Calliope" in Sandman

Interesting.
Lots of parallels to the (very good) videogame SOMA.

I usually don't leave this kind of comments, but I really can't read yellow text on dark red background for more than 20 seconds.

Oddly, I don't get the reader-mode option in Firefox for the site... one of these days I should probably figure out why that sometimes happens

It's an odd site design. Stories are loaded dynamically by script based on the URL fragment identifier; I'd imagine Reader Mode isn't geared toward that sort of thing.
I also wonder why they decided that hiding the scrollbar was a good idea.

That explains why the page was blank when I loaded it. No text without JS enabled.

For me it wasn't the color, but how smooshed the post body is. I had to override the max-width and added some letter-spacing.

I need to read more of that! What's the copyright on the files? I run a public-access gopher server with a small eBook section and that's the kind of material that I'd like to feature.

This is a good one.
