Reviews:

“Imagine if Tom Wolfe had been born in 1975 and instead of writing 'Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers' in 1970, he'd have written a book about the state of society and it's obsession with social media, internet fame and all of the intricacies that go along with it. On shrooms. Using Chuck Palahniuk's 'Pygmy' as his sole piece of inspiration.... you'd have John Corry's 'Phi11y's P-Hines[T] /> #Hardcore Phant-[O]m$'.” -Travis Besecker

“On the outset, the intimidation factor must be overlooked in order to put yourself in the proper mindset to read it, then ultimately EXPERIENCE it.” –Goodreads reviewer

“I’ll show you who’s hardcore, you sonofabitch. Show the world what being hardcore really means /> Teach you to out-#Hardcore me MUTHAFUCKA!!!!–

“BIOTCH!!!!![1]–”

Barry *mumbled loudly (!), brashly, franatically**[2] and incoherently to himself (!!!) /> swiftly, briskly, and like a total LOSER-–sometimes YELPING in a high-pitched squeal–violently™[3]–like some type of mad scientist or a really good opera singer or some shit™–totally fucked up–as he approached the outskirts of Randall’s property in the dead of night #Technically-RandallsParentsPropertyButWhatever:/. A couple passing by on the otherwise dead-empty street could hear and smell him quite well (xop), but after seeing his long hair, those simply wildly inappropriate sunglasses (like, it was night-time #TheresJustNo-PracticalPurpose (meaning: the sunglasses were Absolutely un-necessary, and, more degenerately: pretentious, and could only ever possibly be used by someone that long after sundown for ‘camp’ purposes #PretentiousAsssholes #HipstersAreNotHuman #IAmNot-AHipster #IWasNeverAHipster #NotAHipster #CynicismIsNotCool #IAmNotACynic #IAmNotACynicYouAre #GodIsNotACynic)), and barely visible ______-colored skin, simply wrote it off as “a werewolf or some shit, I dunno. Who cares? That’s what we have cops for: protection /> from everything and everyone. So let’s do what we were born to do…

“Let’s bang, bae-bae–”

Barry was a black-metal, overtly-hater-hipster, totally insane #BlackMetalheadDouchebag (douchebag?) douchebag Douchebag™ (also: the worst kind of metalhead Douchebag™ ($)), who felt weakly that his opinion was the only one that mattered, though that was never the way anybody else would ever hear it–

Randall’s parents’ big suburban home lie atop a large hill, whose gradual downward slope served as its backyard;‘twas hĕře dideth Barry parkteth himself croucheth behindeth a tree just before the woods that the yard gave way to, behindeth him–

Barry, still without-thought: “I’ll show you hardcore, little bitch. Dirty ass-licker, twat-flicker cum-spitting piece of shit! Fuckin’ Jane Doe[4] level shit, just without the technicality or the heart–”

He left his spot behind the tree, speed-walked his way up the hill, and to the door–

The back door under the deck led into the basement–

He KICKED down the back door, PACED the floor, reached the stairs–

The Irish (!!!(!!)), scum-as-total-shit-and-peasantry (put that fuckin’ potato down!) black metal Douchebag-dillhole-shit-munching-cocksucker-homophobe-fuck-cuck-chronic-masterbator marched sternly, but not excessively quickly or obviously–

>Calmly-Confidently<

–up the stairs, through the kitchen, around the main staircase going up the middle of the house, through the dining room, and–OMG (!) #IJustMetYouButThisIsCrazy (!!!)–UP the main staircase and–

“Goddamned sonofabitch–”

Barry /> KICKED down the bedroom door of Randall’s (bedroom?) bedroom #ThatWouldMakeSense more suddenly than a cat lunges at a mouse during a nice family dinner, but it actually wasn’t so suddenly at all! The chainsaw in Barry’s hands had been rattling since he pulled the starter cap halfway up the stairs!!!

“AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

>High-Pitched, High-Frequency Demonic Dolphin Laugh from Hell (Japan[5])<

=OOOOOO

XDDDDDDDD

Barry RAISED the saw over his head–

“STILL THINK I’M NOT HARDCORE NOW???!!!”

“Barry??!!–”

“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!–”

“NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The vibrating spikes on the saw cut rigidly–yet surprisingly straight[6] (oo.O ;\)–through the middle of Randall’s head and face, but–interestingly enough[7] (xxxXXXD)–on a slight slant from right to left, so that the two pieces were cut from the top of Randall’s left ear to around the bottom of his mouth on the opposite side. The blood SHOT out like from a powerful hose. It SPRAYED all over Randall’s bedroom, covering everything from his TV to his window to his impressive hip-hop vinyl collection (Big L, Rakim, Biggie, KRS-One, PAC, Nas, Talib, Diabolic, A Tribe Called Quest, Immortal Technique, Kid CuDi, GZA/Genius, Mos Def, Kendrick Lamar, Lauryn Hill, Tha’ Method Man (actually: anything related to Wu-Tang), Eminem, Jedi Mind Tricks, Big Pun, Hopsin, Mobb Deep, J. Cole, The Chronic, The Roots, Cannabis Corpse–), and even his copies of Golding’s Lord of the Flies[8] and The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley[9] on the waaaay other side. The eyes BURST from their sockets–thanks to the pressure–and Barry’s laugh only became crazier, louder, more frenetic and more audible as the saw scurried its little way across Randall’s ill-fated skull, his mouth quickly filled with blood, surging GUSHED from the growing wound in heavy waves, DRENCHING both Randall and Barry within milliseconds, like a lava lamp.

:(

It was all immensely gory, cartoonish, disgusting and ridiculous; even worse than that one time Barry pissed and vomited all over himself at a party in high school. It was really gross (xOP) (both the event in question, and this most recent apparent acclamation (as if you couldn’t already tell :/) :/ (:/)). In fact, if you were there (where?), you probably yourself would have pissed and/or vomited in chunks all over yourself, making you so inherently smelly, gross, and unattractive that you would only most probably never-be-able-to-bag-a-decent-date-again (:O), like a TOTAL loser…

X’ddddddd

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was super hardcore (:o) …

April 24th, 2015

9:37 a.m.

“Seems obvious, if you ask me. In fact, I’d say we’re just about done here…”

It was 9:38 in the morning–On a Friday–and Special Agent Palmer’s (‘păl-mēr’) third day on the job, his senior partner Special Agent Gestarrè’s (‘jest-àre-RAÝ’ ($)) forty-first year. Already, it’d proven an interesting relationship, as only moving-time could tell in the end. The snow begot from the storm three days earlier was still packed as if it’d only fallen in the previous few minutes, Palmer thinking himself the only one who noticed. He did his best to let it drift out of his mind without notice, but, as-per-usual (:!), he was unsuccessful.

><[10]

Blood still blanketed Randall’s old room. His horribly disfigured body lay in several, often unrecognizable, pieces on the ground and on the bed. The mother and the father of the deceased had greeted the two special agents at the front door, and proceeded to show them to their son’s room, barely able to hold their tears. As expected, they were quite torn over the situation, but, originally, despite all evidence and/or past understanding or pretense telling them otherwise /> had faith that things might actually work out for once (>><<) /> something they weren’t too used to in their experiences as American citizens. Be it their own fault or not, the couple had hoped and thought that, of all people, law enforcement would understand and so be able to sympathize with them at least a little bit–

After some less-than-appropriate ‘remarks’ (jokes) from Gestarrè about the moment he and Palmer first arrived on the scene, Mrs. and Mr. Gähstŭr (‘gash-TÖÖR’ ($))[11] decided sedulously, at the subdued behest of a reluctant conclusion made with the help of some steps and pieces of opinions, new information, and suggestions from others (like Palmer(‘s lack of speech)?), that they leave for the rest of their home, to their own devices, to deal in whatever way they found most helpful amongst only themselves in their just newly-defined-as-young, dark, souls…

Palmer and Gestarrè investigated the room.

“Typical gang case,” Gestarrè said as he stood from his squat. “We’ll report it to Sergeant Fucs,” (‘FUCKS’ ($)). “He’ll file it in its rightful place under miscellaneous gang and/or-drug-related violence, nothing more *Clearly *Clearly *ClearlyNoth-ingMore *ClearlyNothingMoreThanSimpleViolence *Simple *Simple *Simple *Nothing, and we can go back to our normal routine. No worries.”

Gestarrè straightened his thickly rimmed glasses, pet his nice, awesome, and fully white beard, began writing something down on his #Clipboard (a ‘fancy’ clipboard with a cool, however totally-fake-ass looking silver border around the edge (it was real (silver (I think)), I don’t know for a fact, though, actually, so don’t take me up on that (so it could be fake (plastic)??? #Whatever #StupidShitDoesntMatter #MoneyMoney-MoneyMoneyMoneyMoney$$$)) xp) /> but Palmer didn’t hear a thing Gestarrè said (xo). He was engulfed in the blankness and the murk that came with having a heart and a fucking brain in such an Absolutely dark human time-and-place as around America, 2015 #TheDarkestTime *TheAbsoluteDarkest #SoDark *SoDark *SoDark #SoDarkItllNeverComeBackAroundNEVER-EVERNEVEREVERNEVEREVERNEVERGettingBackTogetherXDDDDDD[12]. Palmer had never seen a live dead body before... If Gestarrè were holding any information back, Palmer wouldn’t have heard it anyway…

:’(

“You have anything to add?”

Gestarrè looked up from his #NotepadClipboardThing (or whatever the FUCK you wanted to call it :!), saw Palmer staring out the window with his hands held together behind his back, unmoved.

“Special Agent Palmer?”

Palmer said nothing.

Post-another-pause: “Fucking gangs; lazy, immature hoodlums tearing our world apart,” Gestarrè mumbled as he looked back down. “If only we could find a way to stop them from forming in the first place...”

Palmer bit his tongue–

“But–” he stuttered. “–But what about that ‘Barry Swindle’ (‘swin-del’ ($))? The one whom Former Officer Gähstŭr was mentioning?”

Gestarrè sighed.

“You know we can’t do that, Palmer,” he said. “Especially with all that’s happening in Baltimore today[13]. Randall was a crack addict, a leftist, degenerate–a total menace to society, nothing more, no possibility of ever becoming anything more–and you know who Barry Swindle’s parents are, they’re practically celebrities in this town. Not to mention the Gähstŭr’s history. It’s a waste of time, Fucs knows that.”

…

“But there’s so much blood–”

“It’s only blood, Palmer. If you didn’t know it, you have quite a bit of that yourself, so it shouldn’t be much of a disruption to see it out of its normal habitat (in your body). That’s prejudiced.”

There was a pause.

…

…

“But all the limbs…”

Palmer was referring to the ripped limbs and torn organs mixed in with the human cocktail lying at his feet #MetephorF-orWorld2016 ://.

“These entrails could circle the entire house, maybe even more times than OJ could take a nice, relaxed post-homicide stroll around the block with the cops trailing behind him too afraid to do anything about it because they know how badly they fucked up with the Rodney King situation–”

“No one’s denying how sick these people can be, Palmer,” and his tone was noticeably exactly-the-same :(. “Killers like this aren’t even human, if you think about it.”

…

…

…

 Palmer: “I guess you’re right–”

“Of course I’m right. This is America. You wanna be wrong, go move to the Middle East or Germany or something; free healthcare, free college, crazy socialist cucks with no care for human fucking beings /> JESUS–fuc–ehmv…” and he went on mumbling to himself…

… … …

………

…………………………….… … … … …

Palmer gazed about the room, pressed to forgo his emotions regarding Gestarrè’s comment, for the Absolute sake of the case #AbsoluteSakeOfTheCase. After a few minutes had gone by (o.O)–during which he got on to thinking about Stephen Hawking’s Brief History of Time, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, and the basic principles of quantum mechanics (or: the ones he understood (so: barely any ‘=()) #SoRelevant *SoRelevant *SoRelevant)–he came upon the notice of a small, framed picture on the nightstand at the top of Randall’s old bed. It was the only thing not knocked over on that table.

=’)

He picked the picture up and gently swiped the Bloody Chunks off it. It was a shot of Randall, and around his sloppy-drunk arm: what would appear to be a one-time girlfriend. They were at a party. It was dark beyond the shadows, and through the windows to the sides, and there were people with smiles and hugs in the background…

=’’’)

Palmer smiled (:), the origins of a #Tear forming quaintly around his right eyeball as his lip began to frantically SHAKE and QUIVER (xx’d) #SoFrantic *SoFrantically. He swiped the remaining ‘stronger-stickier’ brain matter still stuck to the picture’s otherwise smooth surface, and brought it closer to his eye. It was a nice picture if it had to be nice, and Palmer figured that it did…

==’’’’’’’)))))

Then, after getting the sentiment he needed (====’(), he let it go, and watched it slowly waver downward, and back onto: the mattress–amidst the pile of entrails as he looked–and brought into focus the top half of Randall’s SPLIT, severed head–specifically: the forehead with the left eye (:/)–probably one of the more disturbing aspects of the scene…

‘x’((oppp

…

…

……

‘Hardcore Bitch’ it read in sloppy handwriting–the kind that someone with a strong case of ADD and a terrible obsession with that horrible hip-hop music would have had (><)–written in blood and embedded in rotting flesh. If all practical on-the-spot guesses would prove correct, the tool used for such a discreet venture could only have been a very rusty shank of some sort, because after just a few hours, it had already turned a nasty mix of green and purple with a black rotting crust.

‘Hardcore…’ Palmer thought.

o.O

‘I think I’m having a strong feeling that there might be something more to this, something as-yet unseen...’
