Warehouses on fire, Molotov thrown at Sam Altman’s house, a data center supporting politician’s home shot at — attacks on the ruling class have begun. Every attacker will now be deemed a terrorist, that’s inevitable. But what the ruling class doesn’t want you to know is they made this inevitable.

HELL WIZARD @pyramidmaster.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
from a crime fiction piece I’m working on
Tom kicks his feet back by the pool after a job well done. The paper in his lap rests cozy against his belly. In his hand is a pen, scrawling aimlessly on a pad of yellow lined paper he nurses next to the crossword vexing him. On the crossword, he is stumped by 11 Across, “Hidden manners?”. On the legal pad, he is on his fourth revision. Currently it reads: “IF YOU DON’T JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY, I’M GOING TO CAVE YOUR HEAD IN.”

The body in his trunk in the parking lot had started to stink even before he got to the hotel with its wide chlorine blue pool and nice white deck chairs. He’d sprayed it down twice but it didn’t seem to take. Old Matthew there stunk up like pig shit in the sun. So, after failing to cover the scent he leaned in, bought some manure and packed it around. Fermenting dirt and bacterial decay smell just about the same anyway.

He crosses out his line on the yellow pad again. He’d shot Matthew, didn’t cave his head in. Or should the note be misaligned maybe? He’s doing everything backwards he knows. In the haste to shoot Matthew in the head before Matthew’s wife got home and spoiled everything, he’d forgotten to leave a note. Now here he was, sunglasses and patterned Hawaiian shirts by a pool, light brown cargo shorts and boat shoes, attempting to come up with something good. Didn’t matter anyway, kind of. Matthew’s wife came home early, the dumb bitch, so he shot her too. Only she ran, so it took a couple plugs, given how she was bobbing her head around. And all that hair! Really made a mess.

working on a new story
My headless body thumps against your door. I can't raise my arms anymore, not by conscious choice at least. The best I could do was go, of all places, to you; when I came out of my tomb, my body lifting itself into the air to drift chest-first toward whatever bright light or cast beams of darkness called my moth heart toward, I had a brief moment where my will could extend like a spear into that body, my body, sans head, just a neck with exposed meat and those rivulets of blood tracing down my neck and spilling across my shirt, and I pushed myself toward you. I have spent so much of the intervening time wondering where my headless body might have gone else my will proved insufficient, what dark motivating force it might have sought. But my body, my headless body, merely 34, seemed to understand my request, the gravity of it, what I owed you, especially after, my head laid down on the tracks until, until, and then it was all over and my head was free from my body or perhaps my body was free from my head and I was dead and you didn't know why because you couldn't have known what I even did, not until you read the note, and that meant you had to get home. You worked a full day, my body laid on the gravel, and only after you came home, called my name, my car still in our driveway but nobody home, that you went up those stairs and went into our bedroom, saw the note I left on the bed. I watched you read it, from somewhere, a place where bodies cannot go but eyes can, and I watched you cry into the pillow screaming and screaming and screaming and I saw my headless body and you saw my headless body and you took me to the tomb to lay me down forever and ever. You went home expecting, like everyone else, that I would stay dead. You did not expect my headless body.
