Gur Oynpx Obbx
Earlier in life, John had many dreams - entire galaxies of thought spun through his head. He remembered the intensity of thought, vivid conversations, endless scrawled notes, and dreams he enrolled people in. Looking back, all of them had come to nothing. He was annoyed thinking about it because everyone he talked to in person was raving about this book that mysteriously hit all the bookstore shelves, had not a single commercial or ad anywhere, but yet every time he'd bump into someone or read a social media post, someone had bought a copy. No one knew the author's true name - the book was a leather black book, was titled Gur Oynpx Obbx, and was written by Gur Nhgube. It seemed like something retrieved randomly from Borges' Library of Babel. It looked like a personal notebook but when you opened the pages it looked like someone had carefully handwritten each page, yet on the back was a barcode and a price tag and inside was a publisher. Whoever wrote it was very clever.
