《Whimsical Invitations》Loser's Anthem
Advertisement
When you're smart,
When you're talented,
When you're beautiful,
When you're insightful,
When you're strategically-minded,
Being successful is easy,
But it doesn’t feel good.
So you were blessed,
And you used those blessings to win?
Congratufuckinglations.
You did what was intented with your blessings.
Congratufuckinglations.
You won a game that was intended for people like you to win.
Congratufuckinglations.
No, that's not how I'd do it.
No, at every step we were meant to fight against the heavens.
At every step we were meant to question.
Life doesn’t stop at winning the game set before you.
After a billion how much more is the money before you?
No, at that point you start preparing for the next game.
And the next game isn’t measured in money,
It isn’t measured by the random beautiful women you’ve fucked.
It’s measured by your worth as a person,
Your value to the world around you.
What good is your talent if it isn’t being guided by the heavens?
What good is being successful if all you have to show for it is safety?
No, at this point you start looking for more fulfilling sustenance.
No, I’d rather be a loser.
With all that talent,
It would at least feel good to waste it.
This food is heaven in hiding.
Even for the talentless,
Even for the slow of mind,
Of the surface level perceptions,
And for the overwhelmed by the complications of life,
There is comfort in being a loser.
Losers are able to experience the grace of god,
Losers are able to value that last sip of soda,
Losers can experience heaven by holding the hand of a tumblrina.
There is comfort in being a loser,
In being away from the chaos of the struggle,
In resting peacefully at home,
In indulging in the most extraneous thoughts.

Are you talented?
Throw it away,
Losers are the real winners in this life.
Money won’t fill that hole in your soul.
In a world where a loser’s cup of coffee is worth more than a million dollar yacht.
Tragic…
Are you smart?
Then simulate in your mind a world where you’re happier,
Devise in your mind,
An extrapolation of your life where you aren’t burdened with misery.
Are you beautiful?
Good for you.
Are you happy?
The losers who can see it,
The blessings they have,
Heaven’s light shining from under the first cookie they’ve had in years,
They’re happy.
Why is it arranged in this way?
Because the truly valuable is worth the tribulation.
The truly valuable shouldn’t rest in the hands of someone who took advantage.
The things of true worth are given by the grace of god.
The best things should be seen by innocent eyes.
Be a loser,
Become capable of good,
Save your own soul.

The Good Crash: An Oral History of the Post-Scarcity Collapse
"Don't we all feel, deep down, that we deserve the apocalypse?" APRIL, 2028—Global capitalism has collapsed. America has sealed itself off from the outside world, and inside its borders, a revolution rages.All it took was one incredible little machine. That machine turned into two, then four, then eight... like a virus, the replicators spread.As a work of oral history, The Good Crash features over 50 interviews with key witnesses to the events of 2027. The text is rendered in the words used by the interviewees themselves, with light editing for clarity and concision. As such, the book contains language and themes that are not appropriate for children.By capturing the voices to the people at the very root of the revolution, journalist and historian R. Vondersnitch has traced the origins and aftermath of the replicators' rapid spread. Crucially, the book also includes perspectives and testimony from those who attempted to stop the spread of the reps. "Some of these are heroes, too, in their own ways," the author writes in the book's introductory note.

"My father said to me, that 'one human can't change a lot, one man can change a bit, but he can't change the world.', and this really stuck with me my entire life, you know, you can't be the only hero in the world, and change is driven by people not by one person. And you know what? I've come to accept this truth, perhaps I've been wanting to reject it long ago, but it just couldn't be more closer to the truth." "But you know what I've found out in this life of mine? It's that, while one person may not be able to change the world, one person is more than capable of affecting the hearts of people, they can ignite the flame of hope, they can be a driving force that pulls through the deepest of dilemmas. That's the beauty of this life, and I really appreciate being given a chance at it." The life of Leo Vilex was certainly not an easy one, he went through many hardships, pleasant experiences, and glorious victories, he was a driver for change in the planet of Luvt, and set off a chain of reactions that would leave many effects in the future, many tell the tales of his adventures, but little actually know what happened. Read as you explore Leo's life from his birth till he arrives at his deathbed, his struggles, his success, his defeats, his victories, as we dive deep into what actually happened, in the life of, Leo Vilex.
8 101The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?
