      I always wonder if the Illusive Man is wearing contacts to look cooler or if those are his real eyes and he is just that cool.

    The Amazon Basin, complete with river.

    An Amazon, complete with magic girdle.

    An atomizer containing a whiff of Diamond Jim Brady’s breath, taken at his physical prime and redolent of oyster pie and steak and whiskey.

    A sculpture of Amber Tamblyn as Joan of Arcadia, her gleaming forehead wrought in gold and her sleek hair a wave carved from one massive chunk of smoky topaz.

    Ambien. All of it.

    That spooky old amusement park out by the lake. You know the one, it’s said that the water table destabilized the ground, causing the heavy frameworks of the rides to list over almost imperceptibly, but enough to unbalance the gears and rails, enough to cause that one rollercoaster car to tumble suddenly, fatally, irrevocably. Enough to leave the town scarred with the loss, to leave the ground stained with their blood, to leave the sound of their cries hanging in the sunset sky. Enough. Enough. Enough.

    Jeff Bezos does not PURCHASE. He CONSUMES. His money has increased to such quantities that he is the first true post-human, to the unending embarrassment of Richard Branson. The flesh-puppet that walks and talks and wears a slightly too-boring suit which we call “Bezos” is but one limb of many probing and devouring appendages. Our only hope is to flee this planet before all is owned by Bezos.
