The Outrage Machine is in high gear, mulching both lord and peasant alike, grinding them up throughout the year, ending whole careers at the first strike. More efficient than a woodchipper, farther of reach than a printing press, it is akin to Jack the Ripper, the bloodstains being a PR mess. Nor are the cogs satisfied for long and soon even the feeders fall in, astonished that they, also, could wrong but a little and pay for their sin. Digital sausage is its mainstay, the byproduct of its online rage, it earns its sacrifices each day just by being an anthropophage because we love when Aztech machines are bloody with the ink of all those nobodies, losers, stars, teens and tweens, celebrities, anons, hoes and bros. Let them offer their ignorance to enthrone us with our self-righteous wrath so our dopamine lords can imbue our brains with meager joy at each gaffe, but bicker, too, in online comments, the oneupsmanship among the hordes in this incestuous comeuppance as we vie for upvotes, Reddit awards. It is a harsh reality, thus, that a loose tongue can get caught in gears which, once caught, never let go of us, nor our families, friends, or careers. So sit tall, lords, hunched over your screens and feel pride as karma’s cogs grind on, meanwhile beware the Aztech Machines: a loose tongue cannot be withdrawn.
Stephen Marshall. Writer, illustrator, layabout. Find him on Amazon, maybe. He has paperback and kindle books listed there. He also writes Supernatural Romance under the name S.C. Foster (because his fiancee pushed him to do so). He seems to have a knack for the Romance genre, much to his chagrin. Having pursued Children's literature he is particularly proud of his Children's novel series "Lost And Found", which begins with "Chloe Among The Clover", continues recently with "Stormy Within The Strawberry Patch" and may, in some future potentiality, culminate with "Candice Through The Picket Fence". These are novels for children (including his insistent nephew), but they are also written for adults who are children at heart. His short story collection, "The Eldritch Diaries", centers primarily upon Cosmic Horror and Body Horror, combining Lovecraft's mythos with the motifs of Sigmund Freud. His largest poetry collection, "Broken Crown Kings", contains over two hundred poems and two short novellas concerning the fleeting nature of the world and Man's place within it. Recently he has published a smaller book of poetry concerning Kentucky, Moonshine, and Ghosts called "Moonshine And Spirit Chasers". A much larger collection, entitled '"Nevermore" 99 Rhymes For $0.99' is also available. For those seeking supernatural and folklore, his collection "Weeping Cherry" is available also.
