Now that I'm released from self-imposed damnation, having processed the Seven Deadly Sins while in the throws of Armageddon, I could begin my master plan to build my empire.
I launched an online platform where I could assemble all my agents' creative capabilities, process them and train them, all while training myself, to become a leader of men. I shall lead by example and do what is best in all situations.
It has been foretold that I shall rule an empire from atop the Freedom Tower, the King of NYC, creator of Mankind's Salvation. I wrote a book/memior/manual that was actually a ritual, an initiation, an invocation of the ultimate Christ Complex Illuminati conspiracy counselor, and Humanity's ultimate condemner.
I made the Faustian deal, dried blood on dotted line, though I suspect I was his tool all the time, or at least since that moment when I first died. I just wish I could remember when I agreed to divine the remnants of mortal sins at the end of space & time.
I know the Charles Crown that wears slick suits, jet sets & globe hops, runs this town. I met him after I turned 33 when I would die in a future time, 2036 to be precise, seven years out from the Singularity swallowing the world whole, some saved, some damned, some stuck between, hidden from Hell on Earth cocooned in a virtual screen.
I'll see the City die, unplug the last people, give the Devil his due, ending with my sixty year old self, and finally the Anti-Christ, Ragnarok and roll wolf Fenrir will snarl once more, choking on the mortal sins of man.
But now I think of her. Steely Diamonds in her eyes, ashes sticking to her shoes, an unholy color of fright wig witch style neatly cropped in pixie cut promise. I scrawl on loose leaf with a black BIC pen, sending not a love letter but a thank you note tinged with melancholy regret at all that I must do now.
She stood at the door to my cell, held my hand, kept me fed, made sure I could see the light, which only reminded me of that prison I had tried so hard to leave behind. She was the truest friend I've had and she saw me at my worst and saw me through. I owe her more but this shall hurt less.
I have much to learn based off that which I already know, she gave me the tools I lacked, reminded me of the skills I had. I forge myself into sharpened steel with every word, I crystallize with every line.
