The end of the world is non-negotiable. How it happens is still up in the air. Ryan Smith was a boring guy.

This story was written on a Joe Konrath dare. It's a tale of wine drinking and the taste of pure regret. It is a story of ganja bums and frat boys and squid pirates and whoreboards and bloodsuckers.

Pick it up and down it at a swallow.
