When you live in a perfect place where crime exists only in the
news, gangsters exist only in the Godfather movies, and thieves are the hottest
thing, but only on “Just Cause 2”, it’s impossible to believe that they exist
in your own world, and even scarier to find out that they might belong to your
closest circle of friends.
If you live in a perfect bubble where Superman is
your neighbor, the Hulk lives across the street, and Alice is looking for the
rabbit in your backyard, even eyeglasses, as thick as a bottom of a bottle,
will not make you see the people you should be aware of.
They could be beautiful like Alice, and
impressively skillful and smart like a Jedi, but they are also the
shape-shifters of the 21st century.
It’s the small nuances that expose them, similar to the shape-shifters that try to use a multi-pass in the "Fifth Element".
However when those shape-shifters feel comfortable enough to be themselves, you can smell
them from across the street, and all of a sudden the intimidating
characters you only watched on TV, are invading your backyard and forcing
Alice to look for a different place to wander…
This is the shocking stage when your brain needs
to adjust to the idea that gangsters are visiting your own neighborhood, and
that you can’t actually do much about it because they shape-shifted into those
which present the law, protect the law, and hold the power of practicing the
law. Justice, all of a sudden, seems so far-fetched that only old fashion-like Jedi and Supermen practice it these days.
If Alice wasn’t wandering in your backyard for too long, and if you
haven’t spent days and hours smoking weed in Hulk’s living room, I assume that you
might’ve had a chance to smell those shape-shifters when they were trying to invade your personal space.
BUT.... if you failed to do so, prepare yourself for a long exhausting
battle, which unfortunately most people would prefer to avoid.
