Released this back in 2022 when life and people started hardening a year-plus into The Great Cough. Juxtapose that with 2018’s beginning rise of the game-theory known as “battle royale” and some of it’s forgotten roots in America, I saw that we were all moving towards a ‘last man standing’ mentality. Life Is Battle Royale
