satan165

satan165's mystique and legend is only matched by the skid marks which copiously coat his drawers. He is hated by many, respected by few. Besides a host of other problems and personality defects, his work can be found strewn about The New Absurdist, The Whimsical Icebox and www.lowpro708.com. Currently battling a nightmare case of the shingles, he has taken to trying to inspire a new round of ritual killings with his upcoming work, but will settle for a minor social disturbance. Chances are you have no idea who he is, but you can be damn sure he knows very well who you are and is watching you now...

Paolo Honorificus

The author is alive. (Sometimes I wonder.) He lives alone inside a mind threatening to cave in on itself. A daydream junkie, improbable fantasies are his stalk in trade; like imagining finding a publisher who will pay for his work. He is most profound when profoundly asleep. Nothing gets finished. The author may be lazy. Two things he says most often to himself: "Did I write that?" or "Where could I have stolen that from!"

Born a poor black child in rural Manhattan in the mid 60's, polycarp kusch grew to define the term--disinterested party. Lacking both ability and drive, he rose quickly in academic and business circles and finally landed a job as a K-Mart cashier. The following day he was fired and dedicated his life to literature. Popular opinion said this was a bad thing. This man should not be allowed access to sharp things like pencils. Then came latex gloves and computers and people forgot about polycarp kusch. But soon after World War 2, the "lost writings" of polycarp were rediscovered by a new generation of people with way too much time on their hands--and thus was born--the cult of the polycarp. He now lives in Budapest, Hungary existing on a simple diet of pork and Czechoslovakian beer with his third wife Evacarp.
