Carl's Quest
I’ll never forget May 2nd, 2019 because that’s when the snake spoke to me. I don’t mean he hissed at me. He actually talked and I could understand him.I know what you’re thinking - that I’m nuttier than a five pound fruit cake. I’m telling you, you should be thanking me for saving the world, because that’s what ended up happening. And it wasn’t just Frank who talked to me.That was the snake’s name, Frank.

I’d conquered the world. What next? Only one thing. A spent day to enjoy my victory. I stood on a balcony overlooking the capital as the parade roared beneath me.They hated me really. All of them. My citizens. I brought them death and destruction. I turned good men into proficient killers to remove the borders on the maps.“Ready or not. It’s time to go,” the demon’s voice. The evil god I sold my soul to. That voice was honeyed whiskey, sweet and intoxicating.“Let me take a photo before I go. You can be in it if you like. You made all this possible. I’m going. The empire will crumble. My photo ...
