A feeling - somewhere after the last vestiges of real homesickness have died down but before the quiet settling in of contentment somewhere new. Sadness of a kind, I suppose. A loss, a disconnect. ‘Melancholy’ doesn’t fit as a description. It isn’t resignation.
A time between homes.
A kind of small sadness you know will pass.

It is apparently self-propagating (a single unit can somehow spawn numerous others) and sentient, given to appearing and disappearing at will.
Be warned though: it is hard to detect. The only surefire method I’ve gleaned has been by walking barefoot across a seemingly safe floor.
Science is hard.

I like this format. Good work, Tumblr.
The Hindenburg over Boston, 1936. It’s odd to think that a giant, explosive balloon covered in swastikas ever peacefully floated over America.
