The inspiration for this piece, which was originally (in my head) going to be a stand-alone. But the more it formulated, it seemed to want to be attached to the other one. Go figure.

Ooops, the HTML didn’t work, so here’s the link to the photo.

So the Schlub is looking on the devastation, giving us an idea of why he has to become like the bad guys to rid the world of them. At least, that’s how I tied them together..

man i am so hooked on this one i can’t believe how rivetting this is.
man stuff like this and spiders travel series really humbles me as a writer i feel like a watchmaker watching a borg ship.

What comes first the memories or the story? The past or the present? You cannot have a present if there is no past This is why they seem to attach to each other

Honestly, this seems to go from a deep reflective (almost scholarly) to a “regular Joe” sort of tone. And I have to say, the second tone seems to start with the word “boob”.

Personally, I think the second tone would be more accurate for the whole thing. Not sure what would need to be changed though.

Either way, really cool.
