A Slut

“Straight into frantic oblivion, safety, obscurity, just another freak in the freak kingdom. We’d gone in search of the American dream, it had been a lame fuck around; a waste of time. There was no point in looking back. Fuck no, not today thank you kindly. My heart was filled with joy, I felt like a monster reincarnation of Horatio Alger; a man on the move and just sick enough to be totally confident” (Hunter S. Thompson, ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the heart of the American dream’, ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine, 1971)
