But is this real?

The excerpt in my OP was the epilogue which is much more embellished than the substance of the novel. Most of it reads like this:

If you have it you have it.
You can tell. I started during Covid and have 22k words so far.

this is real

The city lay like a quilt homeless over cut shores and rag bluffs across the sediments of ages, the glaucous lesion of some dismal scourge. This was the world inside itself, a world in palettes of pale green and gray pressed in history. This was the glacier of arcus tides that flexure of which would bind Heaven to clay in colorless chains. Hewn here against the soil staggering tiers of metal and glass would be driven up over the graves of the nameless. Their souls forever hence would yearn for peace beneath the bemoaning of the day by brokers in markets of money and blood. Towers the color of ice would hang from paper clouds and across them like drops of water the windowlight would blink and fade. The sun would taper to the west under gilded air and as the evening waned the tall locks of bronze would forfeit themselves to a mute dusk. In this world the rain would start and yet it would stop for nothing but that from which the birds had flown and the vines had curled away.

Seven challengers in an untitled war would make their admission to the city in turn. Seven would come and all but one would stay. All of them would serve the Same Master and his instruction was sealed: Bring me their heads, his issue cast from some slum bower out there among the alloy and the aggregate. The words of the Same Master would always evoke the rites of the same mortal servitude and like a quarry poultryman he would paint the faces of his flock for slaughter to the discomposure of those small surrounding minds. They would drudge at their labor bound in the rain to their ruler and to his final authority under which his reckoning was wrought to be the seal of any dire intention.

The ancients of this gutter would jeer and howl and harken to the sky when the words of their lord were spoken and so they would carry on for his sake to the conjuring of all Hell from the Heavens above. He would work with his bandaged hands to the clouds and call out and pulling the world through the eyes of the implements of his calamity he would conduct a chorus of archon monks from an altar of mud and rubble. Fire the size of a mountain would touch the night and reel, its tremendous flame rising and pulsing to the choir of cursed voices. The bloodhymn would bear down on the subjects of its poisonous incantation and the city would swelter and bleat and crack at its edges to the sound of the summoning of all things’ suffering.

Can you be a Calvinist while also accepting that you aren't part of the elect?

>IQ believers are just virgins in Birkenstock’s
I think we can all agree on this, but I would also add that they are antiscience and low brow

I have a question, Mr. William Guppy. How do you get a cat to dance like in the attached Gif? I've been trying all day to get my cat to stand on its itty bitty hind legs and do a little jig, but all my attempts heretofore have been lamentably unsuccessful. Any help will be appreciated.
