    Summary

    "How many made it past culling?" Gehenna asked dryly.

    Saul scratched the back of their neck anxiously and replied, "I really wish you wouldn't call it that. They're just children- well, most of them, really."

    "And none of them should even be here," God snapped, "Infants should never be privy to the holy terror of the First, we've discussed this."

    "And I've told you that I didn't seek them out, they volunteered. They all admitted to running informal trails of their own back in their own Houses, this just gives their doom a more controlled environment. We cannot stop their hunger."

    Gehenna furrowed her brow, directing the force of her glower towards her present company. "We could starve them."

    Summary

    The detritus of your life consists of a puppet, some worn-out cassettes, a sword, a multitude of foster homes in the greater Houston area, computer programs of varying quality, postcards from around the world, satirical entrepreneurship, a truly embarrassing crush on Harrison Ford, and, against your better judgment, a baby. Everyone has an important job to do.

    Summary

    "And then there's a customized copy of PONY PALS, a gift to you on your 14th birthday from the slippery Mr. Strider. Each page contains lovingly hand-written commentary on the deeds of this intrepid young horse. Later, about halfway through the book, rather than see the gag through to the bitter end, Strider began pasting over entire pages of original text with his own completely rewritten version of the story, while keeping all the chapter titles. His revision is a tough, emotionally draining read. But it's cathartic, in all the worst ways possible.
    He tends to get carried away with his projects."

    Note: this work is an altered book, and it plays on the physical relationship between the original pages and the edited text. As such, it's presented as a series of images. Reading the images is the only way to get the full experience, but I'm aware that some people can't/don't want to read it that way. So if that's the case, you can skip to chapter 13, which is a text-only version of the story, including rough descriptions of the most important illustrations.
