“All energy tends to zero. Here, gone. A motorcycle, when drained of petrol, slows to a halt and stops. A man’s fortune, at the end of his life, passes from hand to hand and dwindles away. Bones are brittle. The blood cools. We insist that life is about accumulation, yet the path always leads to zero.”
Raeden Richardson, The Degenerates

“It is no wonder this place is full of brutish animals,’ he said. ‘In a country of such degenerate men, their reincarnate forms could be no better.”
Raeden Richardson, The Degenerates

“lost her fame and descended into her dressing-gown-and-goon-sack lifestyle.”
Raeden Richardson, The Degenerates
