    It is 2022. The world is divided into two. There are those of us who have forgiven -- we who believe that an everlasting grudge is neither healthy nor fruitful.
    But then there are the others.
    No matter how hard we try, their wrath cannot be quelled. Benjamin Purdom is a marked man, and he will have no more restful days.

Kind of guy who would drive across the country to shit on your lawn because of an internet argument. Not kidding. Everyone either hated him or pitied him, and eventually even they ended up hating him too.

    We sprawl out on the bed or we lean against the wall
    Down among the dregs out where the yellow spiders crawl
    The telephone is broken and the drapes have all been closed
    Hands up, who doesn't know exactly where this story goes
    I'm gonna kill everybody in this room
    I'm gonna kill everybody in this room
    How has it come to this, well I haven't got a clue
    You looking up at me and us two glowering down at you
    Wind shakes the palm trees with an escalating fury
    Face the judge or take your chances with the jury
    I'm gonna kill everybody in this room
    I'm gonna kill everybody in this room
    Let's have a little music on this hazy afternoon
    Let's hope the tension in here finds its resolution soon
    Radio on the windowsill, old white moon above
    God watches over children and he cares for fools in love
    I'm gonna kill everybody in this room
    I'm gonna kill everybody in this room
