Heraclitus I'm about to joast your ass if you dont shut your ass up boy you aint even know baka

>>8830137
Fuck outta here

Blew my mind pham

>>8830102
don't fucking lie to me

Because I'm scared of people.

Mine sells every book for a buck, but everytime I looked there was nothing that interested me. No classics, mostly just some third grade crime stories or young-adult fiction crap.

PART 2
>the government's secret branch called the ATP arrives and quarantines the entire city, no one in or out
>they have the most advanced weaponry and vehicles (like S.H.I.E.L.D. from Marvel)
>as we are pursued by fighter jets, me and julian split up after agreeing to rendezvous at the beach
>they hit julian with a special needle, causes him to be very sick
>julian is able to make his way back to the apartment building (as of now, none of the government knows we live there)
>I don't find any of the last 2 lines out until make it to the beach and don't see julian there
>stealthily make my way back to arturo's apartment building
>learn than julian was shot with something, no one knows what, but he has a fever and is sweating a lot and is in obvious discomfort, fading in and out of consciousness
>I decide to go out and try and steal the antitode, though I have no idea what it looks like or where it will be
>FBI agent approaches me as I'm leaving the apartment, tells me that the toxin was made in an abandoned traincar factory a few blocks from the apartment building and if any antidote was made it would be there
>offers a few of his agents to help me search the place
>we get to the factory, break in, as expected it's abandoned with parts for train cars lying around here and there but no trace of the toxin or antidote
>keep searching anyway
>ATP arrives outside, we can hear their fighter jets doing flyovers and helicopters coming
>FBI agent tells the civilian security guard to lock down the factory so ATP can't get in, so it's me and a couple of FBI agents
>FBI agents start to lock down the inside of the factory, too, pulling down overhead doors and such
>for an "abandoned" factory this place seems to have a lot of working electronics...
>I'm still alone, keep thinking there is an antidote somewhere
>start hearing gunfire INSIDE the factory
>FBI must be engaging ATP
>find a catwalk that leads up to the roof. That must be how ATP got in, so that's the best way for me to get out
>make it to the roof, staying in the shadows
>jump down off the roof and run into some shrubbery next to the factory
>no one saw me, good
>slowly and stealthily make my way back to the apartment building
>see several national guard troops patrolling the area, but not concentrating around the apartment building so I assume they haven't found our "base" yet
>avoid these troops by shielding my face from view with a baseball cap and looking down
>make it to the apartment building
>go to the 71st floor (where arturo lives)
>find arturo and his family tending to julian
>tell julian we have to leave, that the factory was probably a set up and there's a lot of troops around our area and it's only a matter of time before they find us
>julian still out of it but has short flashes of "normal", agrees that we need to go
>we thank arturo for all he's done

PART 3
>make our way to staircase, going to go to the roof and fly from there
>as we're walking up, we see more fighter jets doing flybys
>on 75th floor, we see a parachuter coming in towards the build
>OH SHIT IT'S THE ATP THEY FOUND US!
>he crashes through the window panels surrounding the staircase
>me and julian book it to the roof
>julian says he doesn't feel so good, doesn't know if he can fly
>I tell him we have no choice, so we both jump
>he can fly!
>shit, parachuter guy has some sort of backpack that lets him fly, too
>we make it about 50 yards in the air when julian disappears from my peripheral
>I look to my left
>see his unconscious body plummeting to the earth
>he's going too fast for me to change my direction and catch him
>see him crash land into the roof of a crumbling building
>"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
>I know he's dead. We may be dragons but we're not invulnerable
>I keep flying, knowing my best bet is to reach the ocean, dive, and then swim. ATP doesn't know I can breathe underwater so they likely will not have had a submarine blockade set up yet
>backpack flyer guy still on my tail
>I try to go faster but the emotions of julian's loss make me lose focus so I'm unable to hit even mach .5
>approaching the ocean, backpack flyer guy still hot on my tail
>I see the contrails of something flying by my face
>he must be shooting his tranquilizer or whatever bullshit that julian was hit by
>do my best to avoid
>I reach the ocean
>plunge into it
>everything goes blurry for a second

Wake up from my dream.

I have other dreams written down so if you'd be interested in reading about those I could dig them up.

Saw my B Bears post, eh? ;)

It means there are infinite layers of universes, stacked on each other like pages of a book, where anything that can happen happens. So if you said "Yes" to some thing, you said "No" to it in another universe.

Added drugs to calm and pacify the lower class, and direct technological manipulation of the species, as opposed to Wells' natural divergence. A benevolent upper class, which knowingly and willingly sacrificed their happiness for the good of society and the preservation of intellectualism.

>>8829947
forgot to mention made it extremely applicable to our society

Not all the dystopian novels contain two classes, one of which controlling the other

We all are.

>Obscure trash.

How do people develop such bad taste? The only good book there is Stoner.

>I bought things literally anyone else with a buck could have bought

Congrats.

Don't show me the weight set you bought. Show me how you've benefitted by having them.

Anything by Murakami Ryu. You've already read In the Miso Soup, so you know what's coming.

Naked Lunch.

120 Days of Sodom. Or really, any Sade.

Hogg.

a new generation will come, disregard us and build a new human world. and so on.

>>8829790
but the new generation themselves will not be "human", what will they be? what will they strive for?

>>8829801
We can't tell the future, fuckstain.

Danielewski is a talentless hack who stole his gimmicks from Kolsti Nguyen
