William Allan Randolph loved his initials. He loved the monogrammed towels and handkerchiefs the butler brought each morning, and especially the bathrobe he wore every day, where his initials rode high above the Randolph family crest in gold piping. He liked to write his initials on everything he owned, three simple capital letters in permanent ink. He added them to his cup, bowl and spoon. His cereal boxes. The TV screen (lower left corner). His pill caddy. The dog. Lightbulbs.
It was only when he found the can of spray paint in the garage that those outside the family began to take notice.
A gated community for defense contractors. Neighbor plays a prank on guy at the end of the block. Turns stop signs into “stop war” sign. Guy is outraged until neighbor reveals the joke. They have a good laugh. Then they go make more guns.
The spray painter is bad at punctuation. He forgot the period after STOP.
A confrontational street artist unveils his latest study in instilling his audience with quiet, hateful anger: insipid, unavoidable war commentary. It is a runaway success.

In the back of their truck, camouflaged with logotypes, was the honorable senator from South Carolina. Signs they’d read in star charts and Nostradamus led them to this act of anti-terrorism.
Senator Bexar writhed in an opiated fugue: his penis, inverted to form a canal, now opened to a stolen uterus seeded with their precious prince.
The wheels stopped rolling. The engine idled.
