Obituary

Cranky, droll, and utterly salacious, E. vanished in a puff of unexpected logic whilst brandishing fleeting temptations at neighbourhood jackrabbits. Ze is pictured with cats, rats, dogs, elephants, hip-hopopotami, and leathery rhymenocerous cacti from the mountains of Osoyoos in all 11 photos taken during hir lifetime. A coffee-stained globetrotter with a liver like a wrung-out dishrag, this eccentric pansexual held notorious affinities for whiskey, bonfires, and community-building. Ze married a freight train by tattooing it to hir body, and each new lover was invited to graffiti a car.

After circling the world solo on a motorcycle named Camel, E. at last achieved hir lifelong dream of producing the same effects through meditation as ze had previously attained with LSD. In a truly Shakespeare-meets-Douglas-Adams tragic flaw, ze spun into that acid trip from age 19 in which ze forgot ze was high and was convinced ze was dying. Unlike the original experience, in which the drugs eventually wore off and ze realized ze was fine (albeit slightly traumatized and considerably wiser), E.'s skill at meditation had become so profound by this point that it could not merely fade away - rather problematic when one is no longer aware of one's control over the situation.

E. waxed schizophrenic with a bleak old psychology professor until at last ze was loaded into a cryogenic chamber, waiting to be spit into a kaleidoscopic comic book world of the future, where the ever-loyal Camel was already contemplating their next adventure.
