Zary Fakete wonders if it will hurt them--but that isn't really the point, today at Villain Era!
Révülés by Zary Fekete
The road up to the village wasn’t marked. Just tire grooves in the mud and a weathered sign half-covered in moss. The driver let me out where the trees cleared. He said if I followed the utility poles, I’d find the house.He also said, “If she offers tea, don’t drink it.”I didn’t ask why.The air was thin, and the wind came sharp through the trees.

I teach English in hopes of reversing these trends.
“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
