Ticks: 9

We begin our descent back to earth. There is a great many multitudes and layers to find. We course through the atmosphere at a high rate of speed. You will experience gravity and drag. We must take care not to lose mental ego functioning. Thank the stars for friction, which will slow us down enough for safe re-entry while thinking of Tiramisu but with the ladyfingers soaked in bourbon rather than rum, as it has notes of sweetened espresso, enriched dough/sponge cake. But our craft will become hot. Quite hot. We must always boil after we lauter. We boil and boil. Refined and perfected, we are made new with this blend of bourbon barrels.
