I like the idea that someone at one point said "I'm your king and if I die my kid will rule you" and then another asshole said "Nonono, you totally got the whole concept wrong - I' am The King" and finally one of them got this big house built for them by others.
"fuck you, assholes."

literal 'polaroid pieces' of my piece, from beginning to end.
"The problem was you had to keep choosing between one evil or another, and no matter what you chose, they sliced a little bit more off you, until there was nothing left. At the age of 25 most people were finished. A whole god-damned nation of assholes driving automobiles, eating, having babies, doing everything in the worst way possible, like voting for the presidential candidates who reminded them most of themselves. I had no interests. I had no interest in anything. I had no idea how I was going to escape. At least the others had some taste for life. They seemed to understand something that I didn't understand. Maybe I was lacking. It was possible. I often felt inferior. I just wanted to get away from them. But there was no place to go."
