#author, shenaniganizer, martial artist. Generally good guy. Still woke. Still supports DEI. Curses a lot. No longer looks good even in black and white photos.

Tomorrow morning, a thief is going to wake up in that body with a simple task: Find out what happened.
But on Endpoint, nothing is ever simple.

I remember hearing for years that there was a shadowy cabal of wealthy elitists selling sex with children. It turns out the conspiracy theory was right. It was just the right wing sick fucks who were running and using it.

"Go ahead. Call me a monster. I told him we'd be together forever and I didn't lie. Now he can't leave me. Ever. His #ghost will be here with me always, kept in a locket I keep close to my heart."

"The sign on the road said 'Don't stop for hitchhikers. Vengeful #ghost area' and what did you do?"
"Picked up a hitchhiker."
"And what do we have now?"
"A vengeful ghost."
"Who's doing what?"
"Tearing the shit out of our house."
*sigh* "Let's figure out what she wants."

The #pain and cruelty are the point. Not for any specific reason or achieve a goal. They just like hurting people.

"And now, at the end of the evening, I'm going to bring you #pain. Pain au chocolate, to be precise. I took a French cooking class and fell in love with their breads. So, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and get ready for pain."

The problem will be when we discover AI has a #soul and we've been sucking up all the resources on the planet to make it write cover letters.

I always figured folks would want to trade their #souls for something better than the ability to be assholes and not get busted for it.

"Ah, the delicate #thrum of machinery keeping us alive. Air, water, food. All comes from this place. You get to a point where you don't notice the noise anymore. At least until some jerk turns it off. That's me, by the way, I'm the jerk."

"Whatever that weird noise was last night, it made all the plants go wild."
"Maybe it was a green #thrum."
*stares*
"Thrum-diddily-umptious?"
*shakes head*
"Oh, don't have a thrumbosis. We'll figure it out."

It seems like being an introvert at an orgy would be a pretty miserable experience.

"#Obfuscated?"
"Yeah, that one."

"You know what I hate? I hate it when you reach into your #quiver and think you have a sleep gas arrow but it's really an explosive tip and then everyone gets on your ass about blowing a hole in a bank. I mean, seriously, people, it was a legit mistake."

"If you're waiting for me to #quiver under my bodice," she said with sly a grin, "I'm not the quivery bodice-wearing type. I'm more into leather and whips. Buy me a drink and you may be buying more than bargained for."

As his fortune dwindled away due to bad investments and a seriously weird nocturnal life, the newspapers began calling him Bruce #Wane.

I'm sure this will come as a complete surprise to everyone, but DHS is covering up the Pretti murderer. He's out of MN and already back on the job in another state.

"All we ever hear is we're on the #cusp of something that will revolutionize the way we live and all it turns out to be is someone added LCD screens and wifi to toasters. The revolution, apparently, will be posted to Instagram and ignored."

She sat there on the #cusp of a revolution and wondered if any of it was worth saving or if it would be better to pour the gas and light the match. Was there still enough good left in the world to make it all worth it?

They say you can tell how a person will treat others by the way they treat their pets. We're all unwanted dogs in Kristi's gravel pit.
