    The thread asked for a lot, and thought it was very clever as an inciting incident. As the hero, I began typing a response, but then I came across a guiding friend in my anger at the world.

    My anger at the world (Aatw) suggested that I apply a quick hero’s journey formula to get through my stupid post, and led me through the underworld pf my emotions where I tried and failed, gained special wisdom, castrated my father, and emerged on the other side.

    With tension rising, I returned to the world of the living to mark the thread with the magic wisdom.

    “Get a life!”Ii screamed from the treetops, the mountaintops, at the four cardinal directions. The east wind wind carried my words across the spinning world, into the ears of the dullard masses and Aatw rejoiced in rapture, as justice was done upon them.

    A new day. A new world. King of my domain and now gently sliding down the far side of the climax, down into a sustained peace, I sipped my coffee, glad I had told the world off. Aatw, newly festooned with honors, retired into my chest and became stone again, to sleep until the stupidity of man called upon our sacred cause once more.

    I sip the coffee again and recuse myself, ready for the morning’s movement.
