stench man killer boy - excerpt...

He wants no more anything for himself or others. It is time to end subjugation and replace it with - nothing, something, it doesn't matter. The aim is simply cessation, otherwise it?ll soon all be Blade Runner on bad acid with HIV and a camera monitoring your rectal flow. Bloated maggot children hammering utensils against their aspergic heads. Lord of the Flies fuelled by sadism, rape and the weakness of adults. Street gangs carving totems from the bones of dead cops. Security cameras overwhelmed with the blindness of overload. Crime the cottage industry of the world. The have-nots embracing the futility of their future with smiles only welfare states and thieving can produce. And above it all, greedy manipulative backstabbing corporations making out they?re your best friends, supported by treacherous double-dealing governments with more links to terrorists than those who voted them in would ever know. He wipes his eyes. What a fucking mess; more fucked up than him. Fuck ?em all. But in the grand scheme of things two silver containers of binary explosive aren?t going to do much, so he pulls out a mobile, works his way through several numbers around the world, connects with other life-changing devices, and replaces the mobile phone in his pocket. Sorted.

pinn speaks...

In the great scheme of things everything is meaningless. We find the least meaningless piece of life and hang on to it like survivors of a shipwreck. We try and make the best of this seemingly less meaningless opportunity. We strive to reduce its meaninglessness for fear it will otherwise subsume us and make us even more meaningless than the context we have created. And then we are gone, switched off like an electric light, utter nothingness prevailing.......not even darkness. But only a fool would think this is a true nihilistic state. The maggot and worm know differently, as does the geneticist and terrorist, the devoutly religious and the more philosophically undecided. They know it in a variety of ways and understandably have a variety of theories, virtually all conveniently missing the most important part of the equation, and that is why they will never know how wrong they are, or how close they are to the truth. And in the great scheme of things, like everything else, it doesn't really matter.

pinn bio...

Less meaningless than a piece of flint, but not as hard. Has penned over 130 short stories that have appeared in mags around the world, along with two novels, two collections, anthology appearances, and various articles here and there. No kids, pets, concubines or combine harvesters. Only sound systems powered by the wing beats of the Night-Angel.
