Perception of Privacy, From the Diary of Peyton Dracco.
On public perception of privacy Saturday, December 23 of 2017, 10 minutes after midnight People love to decry big brother as the enemy of privacy, the end of freedom.

Accepting the Devil, From the Diary of Peyton Dracco
A memory of accepting the Devil Monday, December 10 of 2018, 15 minutes to 6:00 I ask myself this question often, it has been more present these last few weeks.

Formlessness, from The Diary of Peyton Dracco
On realising the power of formlessness. Monday, June 5th of 2017. 24 minutes past midnight Sitting in this place where I once found familiarity and comfort, I am reminded of the power of the illusion by those who carelessly navigate it: reality is something we are meant to live in without understanding it.
