HUBRIS CONTEST:

John shouted into his megaphone, sending the entire set scrambling. He was in command. He was a god, and “Flesh Would Melt” was his creation, his masterpiece finally springing to life.

Even amidst the commotion, there was a still part of John’s mind that was not occupied by the calculating of f-stops or picking out of wallpaper patterns.
