Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F) is an upscale American retailer that focuses on upscale casual wear for young consumers, and is headquartered in New Albany, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. It has over 300 locations in the United States, and is expanding internationally. The company operates two offshoot brands: Abercrombie Kids and Hollister Co., in addition to two brands, Ruehl No.925 and Gilly Hicks, that closed in early 2010 and 2015, respectively.
Abercrombie & Fitch is notable for using "brand representatives" (previously called "models") for store customer service. Its main competitors are Aéropostale and American Eagle Outfitters. Its younger subsidiary, Abercrombie Kids, competes with Aéropostale's P.S., and American Eagle Outfitters's 77kids. Abercrombie & Fitch has been the subject of controversies including allegations of discrimination, preadult sexualized ad campaigns, and promoting an elitist attitude on the basis of looks or social status.
Founded in 1892 in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, by David T. Abercrombie and Ezra Fitch, Abercrombie & Fitch was an elite outfitter of sporting and excursion goods, particularly noted for its expensive shotguns, fishing rods, fishing boats, and tents. In 1976, Abercrombie & Fitch filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, finally closing its flagship store at Madison Avenue and East 45th Street in 1977.
Forever setting sun.
I Welcome the awakening cold.
To become one with the earth again.
This infertile dream now ends.
As the moon a new beginning.
Eternal... and alone.
I Went for a walk late last night
In the midst of the fridgid evening
To clear the cobwebs out of my head.
My mind totally exausted from thought.
I Wander aimlessly through nowhere,
Yelling in anguish at the fucking air.
A pugnent stench surrounds my body.
I Fall down in the snow ptomaine begins.
Blood flowing out of my wrists onto
The angel white snow.
Dark juggernauts go through my mind.
How could I be so wrong?
How could I sacrifice my mortality to the beast?
Darkness setting in, I'm lost.
Lost in time, lost my mind.
I get up wandering aimlessly,
End up back at her place, time for the final talk,
It has to be done or my day should've never begun.
I Tell her I love her, but it never sunk in.
I Would do anything for you,
This is the final chapter and the end.
We talk and talk, blood gushing.
My brain can't handle it anymore,
The time has come where something has to be done.
It will end the way I envisioned it.
I go in the kitchen,
Pull out the biggest slicer of them all,
The one that will end it all,
As I am slicing our jugulars.
