I'm So Liminal, I'm Over There.

On the edge of the edge

By Ian VincePublished about a year ago • Updated about a year ago • 1 min read

Liminal spaces are uncanny. Stonehenge, Roswell and an undisclosed enclave of infinite implausibility within the brains of any former member of the rock group Marillion are all good examples of liminal locations, but the most famous is the town of Trepanning in Cornwall, UK.

Trepanning exists behind a sub-atomic quantum peep hole. It is a parallel world that has been described as “a village so remote, it lies on its own outskirts”. The people of Trepanning describe themselves thus:

“I’m so liminal, I’m over there’.

The village does not appear on any official maps - except its own - and no roads lead in or out of the village. An entire alternate reality of the uncanny exists in a Mobius strip of four dimensional spacetime smaller and thicker than two short Plancks and four-to-six times shorter than a wasp fart.
