“Yeah Malus, don't worry about the kitchen. I'll do it in the morning,” Michael sighed. “I think instead of blaming the Illuminati, I'll blame someone easier – the Lizard men.” They both laughed again and Malus went over to give Michael
In his shaken-up state, Michael tried to imagine Lizard Men in his living room. He chuckled, Impossible. This whole Illuminati thing; this whole conspiracy thing; the whole magic and initiation and Witchcraft and everything - it's all bullshit. We can't just create myths and religions as we go along... can we? We can't just re-write history as we see fit. This Illuminati crap is a myth, but it is also a myth that we can align ourselves with 'the energy of the universe'. What the fuck is that anyway? What the fuck am I doing here?
