Short story zine centered around life events and death, based on real life events, featuring a poem by Forough Farrokhzad on the inside of the front cover to set the tone. It also touches on memories of old Toronto, the medical system, and various bands the author was previously in.

"This project began as a fanzine, which was advertised on the popular internet site: Gumtree. It requested the submission of work from artists in relation to the subject of death and the undeniable reality of mortality. The aim was to create a critique on the modern rise of self importance, focus upon monetary wealth and the fascination with celebrity. Devised as a protest, as an invitation of solidarity against the banal, it managed to attract the opposite. This book is a collection of responses to the advert, it documents both the saturation caused by (and the benefits of) networking."
