Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A toaster oven might be a bit heavy to carry home, Jesse.

Yeah. I am always carrying too-heavy things home! At least the walk is on the Target side of the subway ride.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

From beneath you, it devours.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Any gmail account will beg you to go all Google+ on its ass. It's annoying, or maybe I shouldn't have 15. That's easy enough. LinkedIn and FaceBook seem like a lot of trouble to fake, but you should be able to whip up a mildly convincing Twitter and G+ secondary account with which to drink the company Kool Aid.

If your fake people need fake friends, I've got alternate identities aplenty. I mean, I can speak to a man about a horse for you.

Why hiccoughs? These are a treaty violation, and fucking with my typing to boot.

Right. I need to get a message to my doctor to try going all out on this admission. I don't want anything to go untried just because they think I'm delicate. DO EVERYTHING.

Holy crap, we're all going to die.

There's a sinkhole forming on my commute to work, clearly a water main leak. They've dug it up and done something, but given the way the road is continuing to collapse I've made sure I know all the alternate routes...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We had a sinkhole in the middle of downtown a while ago - a month maybe - closed down some major streets until they got it fixed. Caused by an old water pipe bursting underground. Nothing as dramatic as the ones in those pictures, though.

Those pictures are BANANAS. I'm never moving to Guatemala City, that's for sure.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Amy, what a crappy thing for your boss to ask of you, so shady.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Those pictures are BANANAS. I'm never moving to Guatemala City, that's for sure.

Can a Sci-Fi original movie be far behind?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
