It's-a-lie -v.

This engine of imagination, driven by everything that's come before it, rolls on in plagiaristic perpetuity. Only by following the guidelines can we know when and where to stray. Imitation may be flattering, but it also knows success, so long as one realizes the importance of masking the thievery. Perhaps it's as simple as sewing together so many scraps that as a whole it becomes altogether unrecognizable, and when experienced will elicit fond memories associated with each piece.

I am Dr. Frankenstein, and this is my latest monster. My piecemeal creation, my patchwork abomination. I can only hope he's met by kinder villagers.
