00:00Here, gentle reader, it is time that I tell my side of the story.
00:10On Halloween Eve, a relentless melancholy enveloped me, for I realized I was the only living thing walking amongst the dead.
00:24I saw that every grimy corner of the city was filled with listless, lifeless automatons.
00:36And I wondered why do they not all just kill themselves?
00:46What do you want?
00:48What a beautiful dress.
00:51Should we play some bridge?
00:53Mother.
00:54Can't play bridge, you have no hands.
01:01To avert my mind from turning upon itself, I fashioned a fearsome brood.
01:09Keep your trap shut, monkey, silly boy.
01:16Back to business.
01:19I'm on to something.
01:20Do you think that I'd forgotten?
01:27I miss that dog.
01:32I miss that dog.
01:34Yes, I know, I know, I know, I know what you're saying, I know exactly what you're saying.
01:47Do you think I'm stupid?
01:50It's not enough.
01:52I know, I know.
01:53I know.
01:54I know.
01:54It's not enough.
01:54It's not enough.
01:58A little more.
01:59Of course it's dangerous.
02:01Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
02:09Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha!
02:18Son of a bitch!
02:19Son of a bitch!
02:31And to my surprise, I was struck with a glorious vision.
02:45I descended down the spider's thread into the trench of hell.
02:52Contrary to the craft depictions, I found it to be a magical place, bursting forth with
03:00profound beauty.
03:02The lower I dare travel, I am taller than this, the more lovely and sublime it became.
03:13I saw the kingdom of plants, wherein the more there was fornication, copulation, the greater
03:21the abundance, variance, and radiance.
03:26I saw the kingdom of animals.
03:28You say, out of my bloody head?
03:34Ha, ha, ha!
03:35Wherein, the more savage and brutal the survival dance between predator and prey, the more exquisite
03:44in chains and noble, the creature?
03:50Then, I saw the kingdom of man, each eye revealing a different London.
04:00In my left eye, I saw a city mired in the bleak misery of perpetual, cruel stasis.
04:09In my right eye, I saw a city glowing with the eternal fire of ingenuity and bathing in the light
04:23of creation.
04:23In my right eye, it was then that I knew I was ready to work.
04:32That I knew I was ready to work.
04:49You
