" The mob looks wild, but King Bullet isn’t through with them yet. He says, “Existence is an open maw. Its teeth are white and sharp and once inside, nothing escapes. Existence is hungry. It must eat. It must drink. Will you let it devour you?” “No!” they scream back. “Will it drink you like wine?” “No!” He throws up his arms. “I am the bang.” The mob chants, “We are the bullet that blasts a hole in the world. "
