The tenets of your ego
tether us to the confines
of a technological appeal
and the worship of apotheosis
in the eternal electric pulse

We stay at a hotel in the middle of somewhere-nowhere, Illinois, small-town-almost-no-town-at-all. If you trek a half-mile in that direction you'll find a sort of main street. Most of the shop buildings are for rent, storefronts stand empty and dark, ceilings inside collapsed, some species of scattered lesser temples, innumerable ages ago discarded.
I walk long miles by night or day down empty railroad tracks, the tracks of passing writers, painters, engineers, coal, hydrochloric acid, freight. The rail guards riding last cars wave in passing and leave me on my way. Gravel and porous fossil-like cement rocks crunch at every step.

Ranger's Revenge 03 - Marfa System
"...but you're a Ranger. That's law enforcement! There are rules for law enforcement, you can't..."
Lena interrupted the blobish Octopodan bartender by dragging him up by one of his lesser tentacles. "This is a raylight-knife. It'll cut through flesh and bone like butter. As you have no skeleton..."
She demonstrated, slicing its thin lesser tentacle clean off. A trickle of blue blood from the wound stained Lena's tunic.
"You crazy BITCH!" the Octopodan howled. "I'll have your BADGE! you crazy..."
"The Jr. Ranger textbook says Octopodan tentacles grow back, you whiner."
"ONLY WHEN WE'RE LIVING IN WATER!"

Elf King Chapter 01
Storm clouds gathered within the sky. The sun shone through the single mouth of the darkness, shining on the coronation chamber. On occasion, the spires of the sages would be struck by a wayward lightning bolt, but no power came of it, it wasn't yet time for the event.
Sebastian sat in the chamber, waiting for the coronation. The last king was unjustly slain. On that day, Sebastian and his wife, Ilena, had been invited to feast with the king. This feast also served to unite the greater knights, Sir Nameless among them, to strategize.

This one is a pretty negative view of Social Media....
So DISCLAIMER!
I actually view social media as an incredibly useful tool, to connect, integrate, and communicate (even if I don't personally have a large online profile) It is most certainly not just an ego-boosting mechanism but one that also links people, to share events in their communities, celebrate and share lifetime events with friends, and taking lots of selfies doesn't necessarily make you a narcissist!
However I do agree that a lot of the adoption of social media is certainly driven by the desire to be "important", garner recognition and "fame" (or notoriety). It is after all natural for humans as socially driven creatures to seek acceptance and acknowledgement from others, hence ego driven.
...and I've sort of forgotten where the thought was heading, and as I actually wrote this a few months ago, and didn't upload until now, I can't remember what I was even thinking when I composed it!
There was a little more about the desire to be a God, or to become immortal via the internet or something like that....
