    If it were simply a matter of willpower, there would be no need for strategy.  Chest-thumping and magnificent effort are romantic and eye-catching, but unless they get the job done, they remain ostentatious and impotent.

    “….and I…like…dick jokes,” I mutter to myself as I finish typing those same words onto my online profile.  Suddenly, a bowie knife slams into my laptop, causing it to erupt in glitchy light.  I flinch back, hands protecting my face from metal-scented smoke.  “WHAT THE HELL!” I exclaim.  I peer at the owner of the…

    I suspect that the reason for being trapped in a body, and for only being able to perceive a one-way flow of time, are the same reasons I sit in class or a movie theater:   To learn and to be entertained.

    After months of hard travel through desolate, Himalayan mountains, I’ve reached a legendary monastery.  Monks escort me through echoing halls, taking me to see the demigod-avatar that supposedly lives at the heart of this ancient sanctuary.  I’m taken past ornate, centuries-old halls into a dimly lit chamber.  A hooded figure sits in a swiveling throne,…

    PTAs all across the Earth have merged into a massive, cannibalistic super-PTA known as The Horde.  The Horde now controls the world, roving on the backs of giant cyber-animals and hunting down dissenters.  I’m crashing through the woods, being chased by howling parents, each one mounted on an enormous cyborg-bear.  They’re throwing javelins at me,…

    I’m flying in one of the last few working airplanes over a devastated American landscape.  “Look at that,” I murmur.  It’s been six months since hipsters have activated their game-changing Obscurity Engine, a reality manipulation device that’s infected roughly 92% of the population with a hipster-zombie virus.  The symptoms are loss of all muscle tone, desire…
