war dark years
How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: The Renaissance pencilled in for right after the Dark Ages. The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Post-Modern Era, then The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished.

Still, it's nice to have one person who knows all your secrets.
want lasts generations
Every generation wants to be the last.
clouds sides looks
On the other side of the handrail, the hallway's gray marble floor looks as if we've climbed a stairway through the clouds.
