William Blake

In the forlorn landscape of the American West, William Blake emerges not merely as an accountant but as a tragic figure entwined in the unforgiving tapestry of fate. A man burdened by the weight of his profession and the indifference of the new frontier, he embarks on an ill-fated journey that will reveal the depths of human experience. Beginning his journey as a meek accountant from Cleveland, he seeks a new life in the town of Machine, only to be met with hostility and catastrophic events that transform him into a fugitive identity.

His encounter with Thel Russell marks a tragic turning point that complements his descent into violence and existential dread, eventually leading him on the run after taking a life in defense against forces he cannot control. Alongside Nobody, a Native American spirit-guide who sees him as the reincarnated poet, Blake traverses an American landscape marked by death yet tethered by poetic reflection—longing for a connection to a transcendent spirit world that remains forever out of reach. His journey navigates love, loss, and the struggle for meaning in an environment where violence and morality blur into one another. Ultimately, Blake's experiences compel him to confront the boundaries of existence, rendering him as both a man scarred by his past and a figure wrestling with the essence of his identity amidst a chaotic universe.
