Emasculation

What you don't understand is that your worldview is warped by the narrowness of your own perspective. You self-select the fantasy that enables your narrative to be victorious because fear and vulnerability frighten you. You white knights, you princes of pain, you sputtering sad-sack splatters.

There are no excuses in the world of the public. Transparent windows and trained CCD arrays have broken the veil of the unknown and the ghosts will never come out to haunt us again.

Direct all focus away from the self! There is no room for improvement in this temple, so get your street-sweeper scuffles out the door. A hand or voice raised not in triumph, but in anguish. Your victims are just cerebral mythology, or were they the hunters?

Is it a joke? I enjoyed the TV commercial more than the sunset. If they had played a video of a sunset, I would have melted into a puddle on the concrete. As it stands, cut it off at the knees.

Repetition

We are not dealing with flesh and bone

We are dealing with evil.

I fell asleep many times. So often. Dreams, waking. Dozing, janitors checking to see if I'm okay. Alone, hooded eyelids, leaning on sun-hot cement benches unable to stand. Lying under desks, sleeping on the clock, pretending to hook up computer cables.

There's nothing like a fantastic corroboration of operational stoppages.
