Corporations. Governments. Big Box Stores. Wall Street and their "Mortgage-Backed Securities!"

You've always felt constricted. Your world, a net of rules, commitments, taxes and fees all designed to fetter ordinary folk, hold you still while the great wheel of civilization rolls over you, pushes you aside. Crushes you. Your demeaning boss, your faithless spouse, the goddamn heartless H.O.A!!!

TRAFFIC! COMCAST! "CITIZENS UNITED!"

What can one little person even do, except--crawl on your bellies through the turbid gauntlet of modern life--drag yourselves and your loved ones from one brief respite to the next? Just keep food in their bellies, a little knowledge in their heads, a little light in their eyes?

Enter: magic. It's real. It's really, really real! And it's burning hot. Free energy in the palm of your hand. A doppelganger to sit at your desk while you're out in the sunshine. Heck, a wonderful new you with all your flaws repaired! And what about those assholes at the bank? Might you finally have the upper hand?

Or, does any of that even matter anymore? What if you look away from the world--the mundane world? If you turn a certain way--if you squint at just the right angle--is there something else out there? Is it bigger? Is it... more important?

Is it safe?

Who else knows about this??
