Another fiction.

Sidetone: I have this original drawing by Jacob Heustis framed in our bedroom.

Windeye is also the name of an incredible collection by one of my favorite writers, Brian Evenson.

This line is a paraphrase of George Washington. In 1784, GW writes to Benjamin Harrison to express his skepticism regarding his perceived flaws of the fledgling government: “The disinclination of the individual States to yield competent powers to Congress for the Federal Government—their unreasonable jealousy of that body & of one another—& the disposition which seems to pervade each, of being all-wise & all-powerful within itself, will, if there is not a change in the system, be our downfall as a Nation."

Antonio Lysol is another fiction.

This section was the first part of the book I wrote. It was originally called The Doors and it was narrated by Jim Morrison, not the singer, but a fictional character with the same name. It didn't work.

"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you."--Friedrich Nietzsche

Aside from myself, this guy is the only other character in the first section of the book.

I made this place up. It's a fiction, but I think it speaks to our collective obsession with data. I also think it's depressing to reduce things to numbers. IDK.

Kind of a goof on the New Sincerity...
