ROARHIDE

Bidding Time, gentlemen please.
Debris dropped through slats leads arrow more debris for another slat.
I’ve melted all the Jeff Koons and feel no guilt.

Gast Tations, too, some flags

I’m in a dark place right now. It feels like death. Or rather, it feels like I’m in a fast food commercial. I farce a smile for the burger-camera-ream.
