Avedon was the world’s greatest writer, even though he had never published anything. In former lives he had been Homer and Virgil and also Victor Hugo and Jack Kerouac. Unfortunately the 21st century was completely meaningless and so he had nothing in particular to write about. Everyone was utterly stupid and uninteresting and life was a really bad joke that had been told over and over for at least 100 years. People weren’t much more than ugly monkeys so he decided to kill himself.
He jumped off a cliff and died and no one ever heard of him in that lifetime and no one cared anyway because they were all poor and frustrated and empty and everyone was glad when the United States and China went to war and annihalated everyone. Ultimately everyone agreed that mass death was better than another century of excruciating boredom surrounded by idiots.
I know it’s a brief, sad story but it’s utterly fucking true! Aaaaah! My head hurts!
