I mean, I guess if you're planning a killing spree, getting rid of prisons first is a logical if ambitious first step.

Sorry, am I reading that right? That person is advocating getting rid of prisons and replacing them with... literal murder?

Well yeah, when someone has that much power people *want* to believe they'll use it for good. Also, when you've got the track record of the Holy See, the last couple guys are staggeringly progressive by comparison. World's lowest bar, but arc of history bends etc.

But I appreciate all the enthusiasm from the artists who jumped on here offering their services. Though if someone actually wants their cover to be from the first 10 pages, there better be a massive twist on page 11.

So, uh, this seems to have generated some confusion.
I'm not looking to *create* something like this, just asking to find existing examples.
Like this cover of Fellowship depicting one of the earliest scenes. I'm sure there are other examples of this phenomenon.

I'd say follow the money but it always goes to the same place...

They make extra large sour patch kids. They're delicious but in a different way, for that very reason. The individual flavors come through more over the sour.

This is a great addition to the metaphor. A fire alarm doesnt help at all if you don't have a plan in place for when one goes off. Plus general fire safety that might prevent fires from happening at all.

I think people dont use them because it's hard. Naming a chapter means that its a self contained thing that's actually *about* something and not just a scene change.

The real question I have is why not set it up with a frame story of Napoleon on St Helena recounting his glory days. Any inaccuracies? Just how he remembers/choses to tell the story. In fact the inaccuracies would BE the story, an unreliable narrator editing his own life story.

Love the change in his voice where he starts babbling about Biden like he might burst into tears at any moment.

People used to seeing 32 year old teenagers on TV forget that teens look *weird*. They dont look like slightly smaller adults, they look like baby shapeshifters that got stuck halfway through (cause, uh, they are). People who are attracted to that at messed up.

You never see a guy who's like "they all made fun of me... well I'll MAKE them like me!" Then gives all their money to charity or puts any effort into acutely being likeable.

Weird that someone would do this on purpose. If I called someone at work "mom" by accident I'd quit my job and move that day.

We all saw this coming. Thanksgiving was supposed to be a DMZ keeping the rest of the year safe but it never held to that promise. Halloween needs to take a forward position at Guy Fawks Day. Force is the only language the candy caners understand.
