Anyway, the vision of his mother soon faded away and he regained consciousness once more, back in the gutter, with his life’s blood once again spreading out like a reflective pool surrounded by tropical plants and perhaps a parrot perched in the plants and a few saltwater fish swimming around, although in his case the parrots were really whores and junkies and the saltwater fish were the aforementioned condoms and needles, and the water was the aforementioned life’s blood, so perhaps the analogy wasn’t quite so apt as one might have hoped. ---

The Lord found the reset button, and from the resulting blackhole, there sprang a new world, populated by all the kindnesses, lusts, cravings and perversions of existence before – including the small boy on a farm outside Topeka, Kansas, looking at Miss October 1968 and liking what he saw. ---

And ANYWAY, Sam realized to himself that his own impeding death could be considered the end of his universe, however he wasn’t solipsistic enough to actually believe that his death would literally be the end of the universe; all this he realized as he watched his life’s blood mingle with melted fudgesicle, creating intricate fractal patterns in the gutter as the rain began to fall, a hard rain whose beat matched the slowing beat of his heart. ---
