William Smith 
Empire Nothing 

Chaos wrapped around love, hate, and despair. Question what you can as each page aches and saturates beyond your eyes. Destiny can’t be perfect, but continue to rely on faith as the surreal is explored and documented in Empire Nothing. This realm speaks from you and back at you, living in experience and movements of thought that drip, and continue to drip, up and back again in a collective spiral of angst, vanity, memories and visions. Spectrum after spectrum on the cusp of bliss and agony rip away the fabric of a society that puts the ‘individual’ second. Wars rage. Propaganda becomes actions and images instead of words. People love fear. The memories of the past are used as opiates to sweeten the present and ensure the forgiving future. But once inside, you learn more about the conditions we feel and the emotions we endure to express.

About the author

William Smith was born and bred where people go to die, Florida. He has a Masters in Public Administration, doesn’t know what to think about the use of air quotes, and wrote Children Of Government under the pen name reichnicht. The last few years he has been an active artist, experimenting with writing and painting. If the bombs were dropped today he’d do the following: say a few curse words, pray a bit, spread the love, drink, pray a tad bit more just to make sure, laugh, and enjoy the fireworks.
