“Sometimes, when you love something, you have to leave it. After that, if it doesn’t get the message, you have to break death’s chains and set things right.” In newyorkerhumor, a love letter to New York City.
Every minute, more of my soldiers crawl from the river into the sunlit world of the living. But my return prompts the question: Why depart in the first place?
And I had plans here. I wanted to raise fleshy children alongside others of their ilk. But I also wanted them to breathe free, something the gutless textbook-worshippers running this city wouldn’t allow. They preferred muzzles, lockdowns, and informants. I couldn’t go through a mundane round of seasonal flu without my own mother’s nursing home treating me like a leper. My city was dead.
Some might ask, “How, exactly, did you die?” That’s my business. You should focus on the skeletal horses thundering through the streets. Their riders breathe fire, which isI’ve come to liberate my favorite place in the world. I could have sat idle by the throne of God, like billions of sheeple before me. I could have ignored the call of the black gate, and watched tyrants lock down everything vital about this great city.
