The World Exploder 10x
9/10/90 The world exploder ten times a year, only not in a split second, just slow like some natural euthanasia, not with the ~~fan~~ push of a button, twitch of an idle hand, only slowly creeping like a glacier ten inches a year, little explosions, another erosion of millennia, ~~C#~~ The green turns brown, ~~the…
