An excerpt from “Age of Igorrius”

The dire purgatorial ritual is complete.  I have lit the fire in the forest, the terrifying fire, the destruction that must precede the creation, tabula rasa, blank slate, based on me tearing humanity to shreds in cutting flames.  All is obliterated and all, I hope, shall renew out of this human compost of stricken ash.  Tomorrow, I shall reconnect with the world through my various instruments to see its condition, and the consequences of my act.  I can only hope the Age of Igorius is a brief one, and that we may soon emerge into a new dawn, a neo-Eden, with our leafy co-earthlings.  Nothing is certain.
