[ he's like mostly shoved under a couch probably, but
you know how zombies are.
the zombies don't seem to be paper-eating, so you can leaf through the relatively thick and somehow entirely unbloodied manuscript. it is an anthropological paper by Arnold Hamilton, the abstract indicating that it is about the traditions and superstitions of "the savage tribal peoples of the dark continent," but somehow all the text has been replaced with what seems to be a treatise on the personal flaws of the author.
Named among his flaws are his arrogance and surety in his narrow view of the world. Furthermore, it posits, as a scientist, shouldn't he have less of an outmoded view of gender and sexuality? The author notes that it's a rather sad view of science when you only confirm your own biases and form the world to your views rather than trying to understand, and perhaps if anyone had tried to understand, things wouldn't have come to this.
Wait what year is it, like 1960? Did they have spaceships then? Did I miss the history class where there were people living on Mars before World War 2? Lola why is your world so weird.
