And in keeping.. an excerpt from Chapter Two, Ruby Jazz Moonshine (by Zeupheldt- Moses)…

Chapter Two
~in which we meet the antagonist for the first time..

I grew up in a f*ck nothing go nowhere totally nominal town!

I mean, the major industry~ and employer~ was The Government.. and that meant the sidewalks were lined with grey- suited ashen faced go- nowhere droids living as if by remote. A remote controlled by the grim reaper.

And there I was.. in the middle of it all with nothing to do.. nothing happening.. nothing going nowhere fast, man! 14 going on 0 and just hanging out at the neighbourhood mall.

We weren’t trying to make a statement or anything- just, nothing to do anywhere else so why not just flop out in the food court or give the securigourds a rise? I mean, it’s not like they had anything better to do anyways..

So we cut our hair in interesting ways.. dyed it all sorts of different colours.. pierced odd and sometimes private places (in odd and sometimes private places [sometimes in front of odd and sometimes private parties]), listened to exaggerated musical explorations that make no sense what so ever to our parents in any way shape or form and generally railed at rulership in our own lacadazical manner.

Sometimes, I question it all!
