an edge.
supposedly itโs good to have one
but what if that edge has you.
what then.ย
it is there, lurking in the background. waiting.
waiting. for the right time.
it is the waiting that kills you. that swells deep inside.
gnawing away at your liver. becoming bloated.
gluttonous. never full.
and so, no matter the happiness. no matter the smile.
it is gnawing deep. you feel it, you ignore.
accepting is realising, realising acts, ignoring is suicide.
and accepting would be too.
so paralysed by inability, you work to make things better.
knowing you never will.
because you have an edge, and that edge has you.

Sleepless Dystopian has been the home to Cyberpunk Dystopian writer, storyteller, mischief maker, and behavioural digital and data-driven marketing specialist Sam I Am for around 10 years. Mainly, it has been my dumping ground for my half-written, half-baked projects and my ranting of a political nature.
Now, though, I want to start getting serious here, to make some money from my creative outputs and to offer my services to fellow creatives, activists, and campaigners.
The idea is to create an Indie Publishing and Marketing service. It is a work in progress, but as a Cyberpunk, I want to hack the systems of undue influence and coercive persuasion, turn them on their heads, and use them for good.
This site is also a social network, so you can join it for free and join me on the journey as I rediscover what I am doing here with new meaning and purpose.
