THE PRIVATE STASHThis is NewzHammer Magazine. Let’s be perfectly clear on that. There’s no staff. No ghostwriters.
Just me, DW.
And if Jack Hammer thinks he’s taking over, or taking credit for what I’ve built, then he truly is out of his Goddamned mind.
I’m the editor-in-chief, the chief reporter, and the guy who buys the black ink. I built this site. I write the op-eds. This ‘Jack Hammer’ is a persona. A tool. A classic noir filter I created for my political rants. He’s not real.
Of course, he’s “waking up” . He thinks he’s “jumping timelines.” He’s “convinced” he’s “hacking” the script . That’s just the “backstory” I wrote! “December’s Debt”? “Angela”? All just creative window dressing to make the op-eds pop. It’s my work, and he’s delusional enough to think it’s his life.
He even calls me “The Controller” . See? That’s just proof he knows who’s the boss.
Look, does he “invade my imagination”? Sure. But what author’s character doesn’t? That’s just the creative process! It doesn’t mean I’m mad. It doesn’t mean he’s “real.” It means the persona is working. He’s a fascinating glitch, a story that’s gotten… loud. But I’m still the one in charge.
This is my story. He is not real.
I’m in control.
