Xirak

"An alter-ego is just a mask worn on the inside."

"Metamorphosize thy mind to transform your heart

from a ravenously devouring venus fly-trap,

into a nectar outpouring lotus-bloom!"

"The pearl is in the lotus. The lotus is in the heart.

The heart is in the cage. The cage is unlocked with wisdom.

Wisdom is already within your head.

And she moves through the bars of your bones as freely as a ghost floats."

Weak Beaks Become Terrible Teeth!

What if birds could go back to being dinosaurs…?

Evolution led a certain strain of two-legged therapods

to become the very-familiar fowl who we now eat as “white meat”.

Yet the hyper-industrialization & mass-production of these avian animals

is leading towards the destruction of our synthetic system

through unending iterations of natural reincarnation & mutation.

The only question that then remains: is whether we will

 wake up from our wayward ways when our food bites back…?

An Unfortunate Incident Of Premature Evolution…

Assimilating into a foreign society is hard.

It is even harder when that society is a labyrinth of automation

that stifles all individuality with government-mandated conformity

and citizens-surveilling-citizens 24/7 with cybernetic spectacles,

all under the pretense of being for their own safety & security.

And it is hardest of all when you’re a pubescent hermaphrodite

whose mutation of genitalia is also a divine sign of their imminent evolution.

But will this newfound freedom be used to forge a peaceful path, or

abused to unleash ultra-violence in the name of vengeance…?
