Welcome to the World You Live In.It's a mess. It's diseased, polluted, over-populated and too close to the sun.

Nothing is safe in a world accumulating too much ammunition for too few targets.So welcome to Mitchell's world of ghosts who have to get the last word, ball-busting muses who torture for the hell of it, a woman who sheds rabbits from her eyes instead of tears, an office of petty-minded workers fused together in a nuclear holocaust and a world where you write grammatically correct essays or starve to death.But there will be laughter.
