I work in mythologies. I am a sentinel of the modern English language. Lexicons and dialectical exaggerations spread with callous arrogance amongst the truth and the lies. Where are the hyperbolic statements? When God tells you to do something, you move. The light shone on me as I stood there all alone. I was asking for help and I was asked for something instead. Fuck.

Now I have to figure out what I want to do. I mean, is it really worth it? Everyone in the first book listened and I do not know how well that works out. Unless we are living immediately after the events of Revelation? I do not know if I understand that theory enough to believe it, but how crazy that people are already expanding upon the lore. I am clutching an Authorized Bible behind my back but I will deny its very existence.

I mean, we all know there is no expansion of lore. The Gods of Olympus were banished from their throne whereas Osiris and Ra were forgotten all about by the Egyptians outside of convenience for extorting tourists. All of this happened before Jesus died on the cross. What happens next? Pestilence and boogeymen?

I can point to Science. The New Religion. You sheep. Vaccines against illness? You should rather die.

In other times I may suspect that the voice in my head was God, but now I am not so sure because I am already thinking about the sequel. Blasphemous, but well within my means should you believe in determinism as appropriated by God. Or was that free will to make mistakes so that we are able to be punished for our sins? Catholics too afraid to teach the Bible at school so I guess this is where my argument ends.

They had to make up the term agnostic for those of you who will call for God on the deathbed or when crashing your car, but I just say who cares. Practice or do not, but the book already says how it was to be, according to those who already were and who were once alive and do not know what a mortgage is. Are you really going to ignore that voice in your head? I spoke to my doctor (or someone who I assumed was one based on how they looked) and they said I was just fine. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I heard that one too.

Everyone shitting on team England but I still have not seen any more compelling arguments and it is 2024. Not modern England either. What are you guys up to? I just want to read cool books but if they are not written well, I just do not care to spend the time. I do not care what that says about me but I am not looking for ideas or friends. You are all just robots, creating content. Why do something that does not have purpose? Why do things only for material value? I am poor and too will take a raise or promotion, but I will not sell my soul.

Am I bad as ever? Or worse? I have been trying to figure it out but it has been difficult having been asked of so much. All things considered, there may be arguments in your time but you do not get to stray from epistemological fact. Are all these academics shaking in their boots over ideologues and those who should know better? Knowledge is our progression in humanity. We cannot let it become co-opted and polluted. I do not want you to accept anything I have said as fact. Although, I wish it were true.◆
