another manuscript breaks off, number 1



by genghis gilgamesh




the world was obsolete but nobody declared victory.

an obnoxious sinner walked down a lonely road.

his name was legion - lawrence j legion iii, of pine bluff arkansas.

his serial number was 34795-78329-k7, but as he did not have it written down, and had lost his wallet somewhere in the wilderness, he would probably soon forget it.

his life was a waterfall of despair.

there is no victory in mystery., but revenge is sweet.

he finally came to a fork in the road.

one road seemed to lead to a desert.

the other deeper into the woods.

where would he find his enemy?

in the woods, living in a tree?

in the desert, living in a tent?

or in the great city, which no longer existed?

he had enough food for about three days.

in those three days, the invaders might return, civilization might be reborn, or he himself might turn into a butterfly.

on an impulse, he headed into the woods.

and was immediately
