Welcome to Planet Earth
Welcome to Planet Earth, where people lie to gain favors and cheat to win romance. Hookers get trampled on at the crack of sunset by men fiending for the unholy. Priests touch young children and fathers hit their wives. Trans women are murdered in Brazil and Morocco and in the banlieus of Paris. Gay men are called faggots over high school loudspeakers.
Jack Dobbs
Jack Dobbs realized he was an idiot on the 29th of May, at 12:43pm while playing basketball. The color of the sky was blue, the sun was shining with yellow hues galore, and a woman nearby was singing to her baby. The grass at the green park beckoned to him, and it struck him, with some mild worry and constipation in his stomach, that he was dumb.
All of his life, Jack had felt smart: his teachers in high school read him Kant and praised his ability to decipher philosophy. His math teacher said he could solve a derivative at the speed of light.
