William Burroughs: The Soft Machines
Doctor Benway rides again. He surveys a ward full of intensive-care patients killed by a Swedish nurse who bathes twice a day. Her put household ammonia and Mr Clean into the IVs “I thought it would clean them out Doctor” “Hmmm, yes, straight thinking nurse. It’s all in the day’s work. Get these stiffs out of here and let them bury each other. This world’s for the living and we need the beds . Bring on the next shift” He turns into the Herr Professor. His eyes glint with crazed dedication and purpose. “An die Arbeit!” (from The Western Lands, 1987) • William S Burroughs, Varsity Apartments, Boulder Colorado, July 1985. Two years before publication of The Western Lands.

So I am a public agent and don't know who I work for, get my instructions from street signs, newspapers and pieces of conversation I snap out of the air the way a vulture will tear entrails from other mouths.
William. S. Burroughs. The Soft Machine, Pg. 9, ‘The Public Agent’
Peter Orlovsky seated handsome mysterious-haired, William Burroughs thoughtful with hat to shade Mediterranean sun, camera in hand, Alan Ansen relaxed visiting from Venice to help type The Soft Machine cut-up writings, Gregory Corso sunglassed and Minox’d, Paul Bowles with elegant striped tie squinting in bright mid-morning light — all assembled, myself on right with cigarette & white trousers, at garden wall outside Bill’s single room Villa Muneria, my Kodak Retina probably in Michael Portman’s hands July 1961 Tangier Maroc.

Oak. An assassin for hire in my comic book The Soft Machine. I had an idea for Oak’s gun, I wanted it to be made of nanites but never got that far in the story.
In my comic The Soft Machine, Nikola had to fight off giant mutant beasts. The first beast is a giant pig who rips up a deli XD
