    It's only a prison if you want out.Then, once released, it was an overwhelming sense of misanthropy that drove me to wildness. I moved into the van initially to avoid murdering my new lwww.onedoor.ccandlord and two neighbors. For half a decade, before my imprisonment, I maintained a front that earned me top dollar from my clients. All the while to earn those dollars I had to pulge secrets complete with verifiable evidence. I made a lot of money and ruined a lot of lives during that time. The van I occupied beside a pond ceased to feel sufficiently remote.

    Promethean

    By the time people realized that it was critical, it was too late. The virus had slipped through our usually zealous defences of overreaction and sensationalism by appearing much less than it was. That, and the world was crisis-weary. Another plague. Another fire. Another hurricane. It was as though the planet were mustering its own manner of counter-offences to answer the unabating insults of human development. The bacterium mobilized voraciously, and to devastating effect.* * *I looked out over the North Shore. The electric glow thrummed and sparkled against the late sky, belying the di...BvWone door
