The mind-bending finale in our Return to Sender-Marathon. The last episode of Address Unknown… ever. John: The poet Pool, in his poem “Somebody’s been wearing my face again” wrote “In this hall of mirrors/Built by liars, I am a pale reflection of myself.” I had escaped from the Pink Bird Mental Institute.

I’d like to take a moment to address you directly, doctor. Yes. I’m talking to you, the so-called man of the way. I have a question for you. How could you have thrown it all away? It staggers the mind. A man of science, with the ability to sway reactionary and fearful minds toward the […]
I have been asked to say a few words to the upcoming Trans-Human arm of Sector Region Citadel, concerning recent successes in containing members of the resistance Science Team.
