(This is an older version of the story. You should read the latest!)
One giant anime robot blows up the Earth, and another giant anime robot picks up the pieces and beats the first robot over the head with them while putting the planet back together.
Earth’s reconstruction is our reality, where mortal everyman geekwad Dan discovers his bizarre connection to his cooler friend Jay. They investigate a peculiar cult whose members eat centipedes to visit the afterlife.
(This is a reorganized version of the original, so the commentary often spoils stuff, or pretends the reader doesn’t know things they’ve already read, but hey.
Also, this features some graphic stuff, including drug use, but in a Naked Lunch meets Carlos Castaneda kinda way.)
