Et in Arcadia, ego.

I listened, but did not hear until too late.

“相馬の古内裏 妖怪がしゃどくろと戦う大宅太郎光圀” by Utagowa Kuniyoshi, 1844.

Once they’re done with me, they’re coming for you.

The rapists, bullies, charlatans, and liars. Supported by a braying chamber of goats, all nickering on their way to their masters’ plates.

…and they have definite ideas about you. Who and what you are. Where you sit on the Chain of Being. Your face being ground into the dirt by a boot, forever.

There is no safety on ‘the winning side’. No super yacht or Telegraph column will save you. They’re coming for you.

They’re already here for me.
