Is it the End Time, time to escape the gibbering masses of idiots dancing upon the invisible strings of the Lie Eternal? Do you climb to the roof and take a swan dive? Do you bend the knee and kiss the ring? Or do you bend with the tides of wrath and ride out the dirge? The author merely suggests you enjoy the show.

…

For Gina, for being a pretty girl and kind to an old man.

…

“This is the worst corner smart people have ever been painted into.”

-The Colonel, 9/4/21

Note to the Reader

You probably know by now, that for the crime of thinking, the World Hates You. Perhaps think of this tawdry offering in a world of barren words, as a message in the bottle you found in the hand of the man that froze to death before he manged to toss it out into the uncaring waves from upon that lee shore where you found his corpse. If there is nothing of particular practical use towards surviving the winter that is coming in place of the summer you were promised, perhaps it will help that you were not entirely alone.

-James LaFond, 9/9/21
