The Wild
Where The Empire Loses Its Composure
Some texts refuse to behave. This is where we keep them.
The Wild Edition of Begrudgingly Grateful was never meant for polite circulation.
It was found half-finished, half-feral, and mostly honest. A draft that would not stay quiet.
Temporarily, it returns to the world as it first appeared: raw, irreverent, and still smoking from the fire that forged it. Read it like you’re eavesdropping on a ritual that was not meant to be recorded.
Quote it if you dare. Argue with it. Leave it on a train for someone else to find.
Recovered from the archives until it escapes again.
Read it. Keep it. Burn it responsibly.
The Wild Edition will not explain itself twice.
Begin with the Manifesto.
The rest is a choose-your-own adventure into Self-Hell.
May you get lost often and on purpose.
Every empire needs a little wilderness.
Squarespace physically refused to host the file full size.
The file refused to shrink without looking like trash.
So here we are.
This is the full PDF, in all its excessive glory — high-resolution, chaos-coded, and formatted at a size that only an unbothered desktop or a mildly panicked iPad can truly appreciate.
No page limits. No compression. No apologies.
This $1 download is the equivalent of opening the wrong door in a haunted house.
You weren’t supposed to.
But now you have.
And that counts as training.
Welcome to the Wild Edition.
Pay your dollar.
Walk through.
