Well, the villain of my novel is literally a cringe zoomer and I feel as though his monologue was one of the better things I’ve written. Please read it and tell me what you think. It’s a short book and the monologue is at the halfway point.

But anyway, this particular day I was just clicking around on MySpace. Back then you shared one computer with the family, and it was usually in the living room. Drake and Josh was playing on the television behind me.
>I have never been able to find this particular episode online, but it really struck a chord with me. It was the one where Drake and Josh’s Dad and Stepdad is going insane trying to get tickets to a midnight showing of Dazed and Confused at the movie theater where Drake and Josh or maybe just Josh worked part-time. You ever seen that movie? Dazed and Confused? It came out in the 90’s, but it was set in the 70’s. It was about a bunch of kids on their last day at High School, and there was a scene where some of the main characters sneak into a drive-in to watch a showing of Grease. I’m sure you’ve seen that one, it was from the 70’s, but it was set in a High School, during the 1950’s. Well anyway, the main characters in Dazed and Confused are watching Grease, and it gets to the scene where Danny Zuko has to sneak past his dad to get to the big dance, and his dad is passed out drunk with an episode of the Twilight Zone playing in the background. I believe the particular episode they showed was called ‘A Stop At Willoughby’ and it’s about a guy who’s stressed out from the high-paced lifestyle of the 1950’s, and he keeps falling asleep on the train ride home, wherein he dreams of an idyllic lifestyle in the 1890’s. At the end of the episode he finally tries to consummate his misplaced nostalgia by jumping off the train, and it is revealed that he actually sleep walked off a moving train in television real life, leading to his death. I thought it was pretty dumb, but I guess it does make an interesting point about how constantly wishing that you lived in the past, instead of focusing on how you can improve things in the present, is a lot like committing a form of spiritual suicide.
But anyway, the dad from Drake and Josh walks out of the movie theater afterwards, and he’s kinda weirded out because Dazed and Confused was nothing like what he remembered, but then again, he wasn’t actually paying attention to the movie the first time he saw it, he just happened to go see it with his girlfriend on the night he lost his virginity, the last time he truly felt young and alive, and instead of getting that feeling back he just realizes that he’ll never lose his virginity again, and he really botched it the first time.

4chan shriller fiction is a genre all it’s own. A genre that defies description, self-reflection, and even fundamental good taste. But anyway, The Savage Green is a surrealist adventure story set in the Florida panhandle, wherein a paramilitary contractor is hired to track down a rogue scientist who has gone missing in the deep tangle of kudzu and thornery which lines the highways of the Deep South, known as The Savage Green. Along the way, he finds himself fighting viscous wildlife, hostile locals, and powerful supernatural forces. Free PDFs & epub available at zulualitspa@gmail.com
