I've known an 'Azl' for 4 years, and it's safe to say that I wouldn't swap them for the world. They can tell me the most random stories - but since it's Azl, they're suddenly fascinating and make me see things in another way. Whenever she joins my game, her username pops up in the chat and a bright smile illuminates my face. She will always ask how you are. If you're worried and agitated, she'll listen for as long as it takes until you feel atleast somewhat better. Azl is just the most perfect human being. Of course, we've had our arguments. They're always resolved though, considering we have an 'Azl' who is just the most friendly, approachable, thoughtful, passionate, dedicated, humorous person to roam the earth! Although I think she'll never see this, I hope all you 'Azls' (and specifically, my lovely Azl <3) have 2 cold sides on your pillow and your kit-kat breaks perfectly and your hair looks flawless and on FLEAK every single day. ILY! <3
Person 1: Stacy! What's the name of that fabulous, funny, smiley, generous, soft-spoken, shy, intelligent, caring, nurturing, passionate, dedicated, gentle person?
Stacy: Girl! It's obviously an Azl!
Person 1: OMG Definitely!

Azle, Texas—a town so insignificant that even Google Maps has to double-check if it’s real. Nestled somewhere between “Where the hell am I?” and “Oh God, turn around,” this charming slice of hillbilly heaven is often mistaken for Lake Worth or the meth-riddled wasteland of Pelican Bay. If Fort Worth had an armpit, Azle would be the sweat stain.
Full of Rampant racism, homophobia, and the general attitude of a 1950s fever dream. If you’re a POC or LGBTQ+, don’t worry—you’ll have plenty of practice dodging slurs like you're in a live-action game of Frogger. Oh and probably dodging bullets as well.
The Economy of Azle: Where Your Dreams Go to Die
Your options for employment include:
Working at Walmart
Selling overpriced garbage at Walmart
Becoming a cashier at the gas station and learning to recognize the town drunks by name
Selling vapes and drugs to teenagers and kids
Working at one of the 13 schools
Repenting at one of the 27 churches
Starting a multi-level marketing scheme and convincing high school dropouts that essential oils cure racism
High School Kids: A mix of depressed teenagers, wannabe SoundCloud rappers, and future inmates. Some are decent. Most are one vape pod away from a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot. Ignore the furrys we tried to bully it out of most of them but a few slip our grasp.
So if you ever find yourself driving through Azle, take a deep breath, lock your doors, and whatever you do—don’t stop at Walmart.
