“The purpose of my writing is to expose and arrest Nova Criminals… In… Nova Express I show who they are and what they are doing and what they will do if they are not arrested… Minutes to go. This is war to extermination. With your help we can occupy The Reality Studio and retake their universe of Fear Death and Monopoly.”
(William S. Burroughs)
NB the only Cross Bones connection here is that William Burroughs had a profound influence on John Constable’s literary and magical works. The idea of this talk is to “X-orcise” MEKON SUL-X aka OMEN SULK aka SKUMZY aka whatever anagrammatic demon name you choose. We invoked Burroughs as the X-orcist to help deactive and dispel the ‘Word Virus’ currently being employed by THE MEKON and his boss PRESIDENT DUMPSTER FIRE to inflame and aggravate conflict on an unprecedented scale. The X-orcism was at least a partial success. As I spoke the opening words, a huge framed painting came crashing down off the wall, missig my head by an inch. It presaged a good night and indicated that we might be onto something. Here’s a photo of the exposed wall, post X-orcism, showing Skumzy’s mouldy ectoplasmic remains.
