i briefly considered playin a faceless who was ivanka + eric + donjr all chained together and passing an old donald j trump halloween mask around, and only the sibling wearing the mask ever does anything but shuffle blankly along w the others

but i dont think id enjoy playin a faceless that much so im gonna just leave the idea out here for anyone else i guess?????

it actually worked better as an angel, go figure!!!!!!

Never at the surface. The first thing I learned: never at the surface. Always underneath, impressed like bones were branding irons. I carve at the body around the rot, hope the sickness didn't eat too much revelation. More than others would cut, maybe—maybe that's my price. It's cost in kind, pay flesh to heal flesh.


Hours later, body wrapped and drugged and rested. The rot's gone, cut clean from the body. Everyone cries joy, cries thanks. They think this is my miracle. I know it's medicine—no art, just cause effect bullshit. Math with meat. They don't know the miracle. I'll show you miracles.


This is what I cut. This is my miracle. Turn it over. Never on the surface. Ignore the rot—just rot. That's meat, not miracle. See the clean flesh. Look for the words. They always tell you something you couldn't know. Look. gently caress, look close.


It's Ok. Most people can't. But I always see them. It's all right that you don't. You’re obviously not a skin man, which is Ok.


I wish I wasn't.

Someone must document the story of the Skin Man, and it looks like yours truly is the only person left who still believes in things like permanent mostly-unbiased records of events.
