Screensaver
A simple on/off control for what your mind returns to when nothing is actively happening. When on, a neutral or steady thought fills the space. When off, whatever is loudest or most repetitive takes over.
G.J. Echternkamp and the Kidnapping That Wasn't
Screensaver describes what the mind defaults to in idle moments. G.J. Echternkamp, at age five, was left alone so frequently that his mind had to find something to return to. He deliberately built a mental image — the box of crayons — that he could call up when his dreams turned dark. That crayon box became the thing his mind ran back to when nothing else was active, a chosen anchor instead of a runaway loop of fear.
