Theme: Here to Help You
“Hello, my name is John, and I’m here to help you. We have salvation through art, damnation in the depths, help for the suicidal, a stranger in a rite of comfort, a candy taking over the world, an odd inquiry into the afterlife, and a quest for normality. You feel better already, don’t you?”
