  • Sable saun­tered into the Burg­er Lord. It was ex­act­ly like every other Burg­er Lord in Amer­i­ca. [But not like every other Burg­er Lord across the world. Ger­man Burg­er Lords, for ex­am­ple, sold lager in­stead of root beer, while Eng­lish Burg­er Lords man­aged to take any Amer­i­can fast food virtues (the speed with which your food was de­liv­ered, for ex­am­ple) and care­ful­ly re­move them; your food ar­rived after half an hour, at room tem­per­a­ture, and it was only be­cause of the strip of warm let­tuce be­tween them that you could dis­tin­guish the burg­er from the bun. The Burg­er Lord pathfind­er sales­men had been shot twenty-five min­utes after set­ting foot in France.] McLordy the Clown danced in the Kid­die Ko­rner. The serv­ing staff had iden­ti­cal gleam­ing smiles that never reached their eyes.[…]

    Sable went up to the counter.

    “Hello-my-name-is-Marie,” said the girl be­hind the counter. “How-can-I-help-you?”

    “A dou­ble blaster thun­der big­gun, extra fries, hold the mus­tard,” he said.

    “Anything-to-drink?”

    “A spe­cial thick whip­py chocobanana shake.”

    She pressed the lit­tle pic­togram squares on her till. (Lit­er­a­cy was no longer a re­quire­ment for em­ploy­ment in these restau­rants. Smil­ing was.)





  • It’s absolutely amazing how such a massive show with a huge fanbase completely tapped into the story managed to fuck it up so hard that literally everyone stopped talking about it immediately after the finale. It takes garbage writing of epic proportions to make every single one of your viewers wish they’d never seen your show.

    I’d seen shows blow their stories before but never one with the amount of money and talent this one had.
