Preface

---

THE BIBLE RECORDS SEVEN SUICIDES,

most famously that of Judas Iscariot,

followed by Samson and King Saul,

followed by King Saul’s armor-bearer,

who couldn’t bear it.

→

SAMSON BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN,

and with it himself,

and with himself an array of Philistines.

→

JUDAS PUT HIMSELF ON THE LINE,

and then lifted it,

tugging rope.

→

SAUL FELL ON HIS OWN SWORD,

enthralled with his dead lord,

the liege fell as well.

→

THEN, ABIMELECH BEGGED FOR THE BLADE,

left with death at a woman’s hand,

his right-hand obeyed.

→

AHITHOPHEL WAS A COUNSELOR WHOSE ADVICE WAS DENIED,

so he lassoed a loop,

and took a twine ride.

→

and AT LAST KING ZIMRI

held tight to the scepter,

then burnt his own palace to smoldering embers.

The Ghost of Gregory

---

Gone gaunt.

He’d whittled down to nothing.

Old clothes fit in new ways.

Unrecognizable.

To himself, at least.

And to her, apparently.

He’d seen Cecile at the park, strolling the pathway.

She’d walked right by.

Like they’d never been engaged.

Like he wasn’t there at all.

---

Words Fail

---

”You’re endorsing vigilantism?”

“My endorsement’s irrelevant . . .

It’s what happening.”

“It doesn’t have to be like this.”

“But it is.”

“But —”

“Too late . . .

Deed’s done.”

Codename: HEMLOCK

---

Gone ghost.

Off the radar.

In the wind.

On the run.

One-dimensional man.

3-D printed guns.

All Hope Costs

When the smoke cleared Alita felt her pain lift.

Chambered indica taking hold.

Its warm embrace soothed.

She’d given up on chemotherapy a few weeks back.

It was any day now.

So fuck it, she figured.

Cracked a beer open, then a laptop.

Cold aluminum on bare knees.

Entered a lengthy string of characters.

Upper, lower.

Just in case.

AS ABOVE, SO BELOW:

 Ｄ Ａ Ｒ Ｋ   Ｍ Ｏ Ｄ Ｅ →

The EXITEER darkweb forum appeared, and with it, a triumphant announcement:

‘𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗟𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗥𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗜𝗡𝗩𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡’

Someone had activated.

Alita clicked through to the post.

Seems the councilman had been a good friend to real estate developers.

For a fee of course.

Nothing’s free of course.

Quid pro quo gone amateur hour.

Forest Lawn fodder now.

What a pity.

---

Riddance

---

They’d built walls.

Access denied.

Dammed.

Wanted nothing to do with you.

With me, us.

Anyone.

The rotted remains of the alleged elite.

“Elite.”

[gob of spit]

Gated themselves.

Public posts with comments off.

Contempt and sneers.

All unearned.

the life-world, they’d move huddled and thronged in diamond phalanxes, in the cowards’ surrounds of paid thugs in cheap suits sunglasses and earpieces.

Hustled from private cars to hotels to conference rooms to lecterns.

Stuffed with speech.

Teleprompted ciphers.

Mouthers of karaoke convenience.

Platitudinous.

Post-human, in a sense.

Now, posthumous.

A foot in the grave and a fist to the face.

Receding beings lash out.

Flickering apparitions become executors.

Predators become prey.

They’d disguised it as an Augmented Reality Game:

𝙲𝙾𝙽𝚂𝙸𝙳𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙽𝙶 𝚂𝚄𝙸𝙲𝙸𝙳𝙴? 𝙰 𝚆𝙾𝚁𝚃𝙷𝚈 𝙲𝙰𝚄𝚂𝙴 𝙰𝚆𝙰𝙸𝚃𝚂!

→

Flyers and paste-ups.

Hidden in plain sight.

It was no game.

There was no playing.

She smiled wilde-eyed cheshire on-drugs —

“Do you know what a hyperstition is? Like, have you ever heard of it?”

Gi𝒈𝑔led, paused.

A beat.

Two, three.

One too many.

“Uh . . .” duh, duh, duh, “I don’t think so,” he said, half-stammer.

Too slow for her speed.

So she cut him in line for the bathroom.

And never saw him again.

Abort Document

“I want to have the nastiest little waist around.”

Trimmed his midsection in the community college gym.

Made kissy-faces at himself in the mirror.

But he’d made a mistake.

He’d posted photos to the bodybuilding forum.

What had he expected —

Adulation?

Foolishly, yes, perhaps.

He’d talked shit about his benchpress and pull-ups.

They didn’t believe his numbers.

Taunted to show his physique, he acquiesced.

Shirtless in his parents’ bathroom light.

Now his life’s over.

There’s no going back, or if there is, there’s no convincing him.

None.

Don’t even think of it.

The train is on the track, chugging.

What could hold it back?

Nothing.

And so he commits himself to some cause, just or otherwise.

Spoiled of morals.

Inevitable, immortal.

Unable to go on, he acts.

A Message From On High

---

“Keep it off the phones.”

. . .

“I said keep it off the fucking phones.”

---

A Bang, A Vengeance

---

Cavern thunk of a dog’s body.

Thick with muscle and meat.

A sickly owner.

Facing death’s defeat.

At the door and defiant still, she plotted.

At a pace that cannot plod.

She hasn’t the time.

She’s late for god.

Human design’s a fatal flaw.

Shaky Handwriting of an Unlikely Diarist (Bill, 77 y/o, Cedar Rapids, IA)

---

The legal pad was left on a coffee table:

“You know, I didn’t do well with women, or with work.

School, money.

Hell, much of anything.

But I gotta figure I’m good for something.

Even on my way out.”
