Just Imagine

There you are, the very center of a sea of faces. They’re all there for you, to hear you, to bask in your presence. They came from all over and they’re thousands of them screaming your name over and over, delirious with excitement.

As you look around and watch these twisted, transfigured faces, you realize with absolute certainty that two weeks from now a significant fraction of the people before you will begin dying a horrible, preventable death. Because of you! For you! Because they love you!

The intense pulse of this realization goes far beyond orgasm. You — you alone — have the power to introduce people directly to their deaths solely in order praise you.

It is a god-like power. God-like? Doesn’t God command life and death? No, you are not God-like: you are God…

If I believed that evil existed, this is what it would look like.
