Citizen Pain


"As Charles Foster Kane applauded the performance of his paramour Susan, his mind strayed from the realization of the embarrassing debacle of her stage debut ... instead, he thought of THE FUTURIST! and the knowledge that THE FUTURIST!, in Utter Despair, N.J., was using a scene from a very stressful moment in his life as a humorous blog post. He saw, in his mind's eye, THE FUTURIST! smugly composing this ridicule on the Internet for a cheap laugh; and with every breath, every heartbeat, Kane contemplated how he would crush THE FUTURIST! with all the might of his corrupt tyrannical empire. Even though he was a mere celluloid image, Kane would make THE FUTURIST!'s life a living nightmare."

THE FUTURIST! said...

THE FUTURIST! is awaiting Kane's wrath. It isn't a pleasant thought.

Just wait until Kane finishes your pan after you pass out drunk.
