The Four Hamsters of Absurdity

Good evening. Today marks the first entry in what will hopefully be a coherent catologue of thoughts behind the creation of the Kiddie Wars series. Unfortunatley, it is most likely going to end as a babbling mess of random musings but I digress...

While most would never guess so, Kiddie Wars is more than just a random mess of violent children running amok in an underfunded and poorly administrated public elementary school. No, like any creation, it is a vehicle to voice an opinion. It is a title I give to the life that surrounds me everyday. It is dedicated to the grown up children who look down on people for so long that they never look up. The concerns carried by these "adults" are living jokes which I have long ago became tired of. The strips and the pages are my way of making the jokes funny again.

Four is the number which forms the foundation of the story; a story of the most important fight that everyone has ever forgot.

• The will to fight when victory is impossible.
• The importance of the fights that have long since past.
• The redemption for those who no one forgives.
• The damnation that waits after the second death.

There are no victors in the Kiddie Wars. No one will ever get what they want in the world and few will get what they need. But to run from it is impossible and to surrender to it is to surrender to death. In the end they fight for a noble cause. They fight for a freedom that can never be held. To forsake this is to die the first death.

Time washes the memory of the importance of the moment but the moment looms larger than the world. The forgotten fights we wage forever mark us. To mark those moments insignificant is to belittle our very existance. To mark other's moments is to sin a sin that will be remembered long afterthe moment has passed.

Those who sin must always repay and the redemption they seek can never be found. In seeking it, they can never see it, for when they truly desire it, they can never believe they have already found it.

Those who sin must always repay but it is not always those who sin who are the ones to pay. The debts of the sinner can become the debts of those they have sinned. The second death waits when either succumbs to the first for it is nothing more than the death of the first. The fight that was abandoned becomes renewed but the reasons for being are at risk of being forgotten. Without these reasons, the child will become the monster and his rage will cut all those who find him.
