The New Normal

We have seen every ghastly act and recorded it. Grisly deeds yellow in archives waiting to be refined and improved. Tyrannosaurus Rex awakes in a drop of amber, takes a look around, decides to go extinct again. Cell phones retweet daily holocausts over coffee and donuts Evil has friends on Facebook, the commonplace entertains the unspeakable as if it were merely an eccentric uncle. The unborn and the born are culled and are tax deductible. On the other hand the plague business is thriving, there are killings on the market – and of course everywhere else.
