"Reality," the Council declared, "must be destroyed. It is the only solution."
The people protested.
"A new one," the Council sighed, "will be created."
Reality was destroyed, and a new reality was created.
END OF VOLUME I
Once there were two bored high-school students in the late eighties who passed sheets of notebook paper in class, each writing a sentence in turn, creating a ridiculous and hilarious -- for them -- story that in the end ran for dozens of pages, never finding an end for long. The very first sentence of the Epic of Joe read, "Once there was a boy named Joe." Once there were two now-aging fathers who started a collaborative story blog in the twenty-first century.
Danzig wept.
