The
Squud (Infinitas infinitio opus) is a marine and freshwater squid whose
limbs resemble an ironworker's spud wrenches.
It is known to devour unsuspecting human beings and force them into
lives of
unrelenting competition and heavy physical labor.
The Squud is in the family Capitalistusemploydementia and closely related to the slower
but no
less deadly Squorment (Infinitas infinitio torqueo) and the intricately complicated
but
meaningless Squidious (Extrarius taedium).
Unlike most squid
species, these vicious
predators are able to
travel throughout human physical, social, and cultural systems. They
disguise themselves as ambition, wealth, and power, delivering a bite
that
creates delusions of faith and trust in complex, oppressive systems of
social, cultural, political, and economic production.
After years of laboring
in such systems, the victims
generally die alone, unknown, and unfulfilled. After death, friends, relatives, and representatives of the state often
bury the victims in
graves marked only by meaningless stones or metal plaques.
