And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Clockmaker?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Deadbeat Deity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Deadbeat god?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No, you know, the belief that there was a god who created the universe, but that god doesn't watch over us, isn't involved in our lives and hurricanes and such.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Deism, maybe.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

-t's right, that's essentially the Deist viewpoint.

What is even happening?

Yeah, that's the Deist point of view. As far as I know, there's no special term for the deity in that point of view.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I need to go to the mall and do laundry today. I guess I should do laundry now, then shower, then the mall. That seems like a good plan.

This is like my least-favorite set of chores ever.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to do laundry and go to Trader Joe's and the regular grocery store.

I'll trade you the grocery store for the mall.
