EDWIN WINDSOR DIES IN PRISON AT AGE 99

Florence, CA – Edwin Windsor, the English-born businessman who led a colorful life first as an “evil efficiency consultant” before transitioning into one of the most feared supervillains in history, has died in prison while serving multiple life sentences without the possibility of parole. He was ninety-nine years old.

Windsor succumbed to throat cancer on the morning of April 1, spending his final moments in the infirmary of a maximum security prison, accompanied only by a select group of close associates. His last words were in Latin.

Windsor had been struggling with terminal illness in periodic bouts for thirteen years before passing away. Representatives from his estate have requested privacy from the media. They have revealed that Windsor desired his remains to be interred in a cemetery in Dorsetshire, England.

Federal Bureau of Prisons Director Mackenzie E. Patrice said in a public statement, “Edwin Windsor was provided with the best possible care while in ADX Florence. He declined the possibility of euthanasia and died peacefully. It is the hope of the Bureau that the residents of the countries around the globe who were affected by Windsor’s crimes will be assured that he served his sentence to the very end.”

The Federal Bureau of Prisons has, in the last four decades, been on the leading edge of secure incarceration for perpetrators of super-crime as well in the successful rehabilitation of all criminals, super and mundane.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, dedicated to incarcerating and rehabilitating all convicts whom it is tasked with handling. It has been recognized by leading authorities from around the world for for revolutionary advances in lowering recidivism and containing super-criminals.

Getting people involved in the stories you’re telling can also be the difference between having one time readers and having fans that stick with you throughout your career.

Ahh, like the success with the webcomic Homestuck? You may be on to something there. Not that I ever read that one, but apparently it had millions of fans.

While vocal fans put many of their thoughts on the internet, I wonder if there might not still be a ~90% majority that really just want to enjoy the product without caring to give any input at all? Kind of like a YouTube video with less than 10% giving it a thumb up, and much fewer than that leaving a comment. I imagine that is where the real money is, or corporations could not be run on that business model. But not everything is about money, so it sure is nice that we have these alternatives!
