It was some days ago when I first encountered what I would come to know as the Twist of Madness.
I had seen the spiral before, of course. For years I had studied its impossibly tight coils, and even when shown the technique firsthand, some essential truth of its construction had remained beyond my understanding.
Then I found that Facebook video so casually labelled, "Pip's Twirl & Curl Balloon Twisting Technique".
Disturbingly simple. Distressingly addictive. Diabolically hard to perfect. A twisting geometry that could only be described as non-Euclidean.
Suddenly I understood what no human mind was ever meant to comprehend.
I made another. And another.
My fingers are raw. I think they've begun to change. I haven't slept in days. There are spirals everywhere. I know now that I shall never be free of them.
May the gods forgive me, I have started another...

Sure seems like our resident twister ... Loves craftin',
Round and round he goes, where the madness stops, nobody knows!
