NVN Extra: BLIZZARD OF OZ ‘23
by Scott C. Kaestner
*
Frostbitten existential mood swings my fingers can’t feel my toes numb frozen try to twist, try to wiggle free nothing. My mind is a mine field explosive blue diamond in snow drift icicle sky and damn it gets so cold when an angry sun scorches everything in sight. The world is upside down, reason I know do you hear the shit coming out of peoples mouths? The aliens no doubt are bored with us and have moved onto planets with intelligent life something religion and politics and 24 hour news cycles eliminated from Earth quite some time ago so here I am, here we are freezer burnt waiting for the end or a new beginning or at least some warm socks to apocalypse in.
