Skulking through

the

crumbling underbelly

of a

decaying

hallowed out

American landscape

deftly weaving

amongst

the

          u       n
               r
                A
              V
                  E
                        L
                  i
              N
                        g

social fabric

a freying

identity

the

C     U     L   T    U    R    E
    W       A      R      S

in full tilt

hungrily devouring

it's victims

one

aunt

uncle

mother

father

at a time

until all that's left

is you

wallowing in the

irrelevance of truth

welcome to the labyrinth

in this moment

it hits you:

life is the first

and ultimate

rogue-like

brutally hard

dependent on

subtle tactics

resource managment

and lastly

but

most important:

permadeath

no quicksaves

no re-tries

no going back

you live or die with your choices

and oddly

this wolf is in

his element

fucking run me through the grinder

been there

done it

i'll do it again

i'm already been pulped ten times over

what's new

yeah

in the day

i'm 'sober with the strength of SUPERMAN'

but at night i let luna take me in

seranade me with the

milky white rays

of the lunar landscape

transform this wolf

let me run with the lycans

howl at the dessicated

landscape

bottle in-hand

some souls

aren't suited to

the uncertainty

the muck

the mire

making something

out of

                NO
               thing

so

now

i don't tolerate

i embrace

this rogue-life

this rogue-like world

who better equipped

...than a wolf in the wood?
