THOSE WHO WOULD RESIST MY RULE<br />

Story by Jason Greenfield. Art by Thomas Cardin<br />

Chapter <strong>One</strong>: Thoughts of a Tyrant, as dictated to Central Comp<br />

I am Darkikonn, Lord of all Quarr and Liege Lord of<br />

the Seven Quadrants. My rule extends to the edge<br />

of known space and a trillion trillion trillion sentients<br />

quake under my booted heel. I am Darkikonn!<br />

Is that a suitable opening I wonder? I find a melodramatic<br />

statement, firm and unyielding in its intent<br />

to be best. The usual form if you will, simplistic<br />

in its straightforward but bombastic language, accurate<br />

in content but perhaps somewhat … cliché?<br />

I think so anyway but my thoughts remain my own<br />

and of course nobody would dare to unintentionally<br />

agree with those thoughts unprompted ~<br />

Computer records a heavy sigh ~ it would mean<br />

their life of course and one must preserve form. I<br />

am as much a slave to form and function as all others<br />

are slaves to my despotic whim. If I DIDN’T order<br />

the occasional random execution among my<br />

lackeys on a flimsy pretext or even none at all, everyone<br />

would be so disappointed.<br />
