> A tired ptal sits at the side of a brick road, resting & leaning its head against its palm. Its top is tattered, flowing with the breeze. The path before it is dotted with a few orbs, all of which struck by a curling bolt of shaded lightning. The path ahead shows a single orb, labeled “next,” & bearing a question mark. Above, handwritten text reads the title of the piece, as well as a label just outside the canvas’s edges: “era of the loser; you are not alone.”
