“eRT,” 2023
Pictured here is the leader of Midwest’s largest self-proclaimed “pharmaceutical cult.” The medication(s) they worship are swapped out on a regular basis, chosen seemingly at random by their leader, who spends all hours of the day locked in a hermetic chamber in the pharmacy’s basement. His real name is unknown but he doesn’t speak regularly and only responds to loud noises and sudden movements so most people refer to him and address him via his most recent guttural noise and/or noisy hand gesture. The last noise he made was something like “eRT” so that’s what people are calling him right now.
