Loved it! I hope it's ok that I had the Kill Bill theme playing in my head instead.

Oh My Ever-Loving and loved God! What a fantastic prankster you are. The title matched with the music, the incredible images you conceived, and the hope and fire you kindled in my breast is far greater than any superhero movie ever made! You deserve a bonus for this piece. Hold on while I take care of that. Just upgraded to Founding Member🥰.

What a beautiful story. What a beautiful ending.

God bless you for writing in such vivid visuals that we can see in our mind's eye the victory of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

"Boo!" The best line.

Sly, sly Mr. Mark. I feel the Harm Assistant coming our way...

And I think we're ready for him now.

Well done, brother

F**king brilliant. You should be a writer or something. Upgrading to paid.

Hey, thanks for writing this. Many other entries in this blog, but maybe this first among all.

Unfortunately, I have no reasons, or intuitions, or relevations, telling me that the Enemy and Its army are inherently inferior in power to Good and Its army.

Or that complete victory, or some partial ones, are ensured.

By my observations I can't agree with this Stack underlying theme that the Enemy is, well, a sort of bumbler.

I am also not sure that It doesn't generate its own creation (one of those "watch [big feline name] kill [victim name]" YT videos that I will never watch but are highly popular and record very high view counts would be enough for me to be unable to be sure).

But even — let's give a glance at the worst of all hypotheses — if it were defeat that were ensured, and if we were one hundred, on our team, and they were one billion, on team Evil, I'd be happy to belong to our team — and never touched by the temptation to switch to the other.

This is a bit off topic as a comment to an April 1 entry, but I had to say it.

(I take the chance to recommend one read that you may have not... read: The rose of the world, by Andreev.)

In the midst of all the seeming darkness around us these days, all the insanity and reverse reality, all the treachery and treason; God is—and always has been, and always will be—on His Throne.

Thank you, Mark, for this most excellent reminder, good sir. Thank you indeed.
