John Palen Powelson, "Jack", believes that he has finder's rights to the
negative terminal of the battery. The problem is, he may be the lug, but it's useless without the rest of the battery. Carolyn used to be the positive terminal, but she was demoted. I guess that used to make the rest of us at the complete mercy of a father and a daughter, humanity on acid giving them power. I guess that used to make them the master architects of whatever whim fancied them. How would they like their eternity to be? A Wizard of Oz theme? A Renaissance? Camelot? A Rapture? Surely, as we all would know, Jack and Carolyn were the entitled judges to the destinies of all of our pathetic asses, humanity at large. Here were a pair who didn't even need cocaine. They were in a continuous delusion of grandieur, because they stumbled on the power centers of the species. One is a source. The other is a sink. There's nothing mystical about it. Nature put them there in the unconscious mind. They are a resource reserved when the animal is in trouble. Not just some kind of free keg for idiots to drink from wastefully, and hoarding it all to themselves, using it up and depriving it from those who really need it. Any crackpot knows that. I'm not going to England to get a tour of its sewers. I want a good look at the artwork on the ceilings of the cathedrals, and not from lying down in a casket. The UK people can prepare themselves in this regard. I know I could see the worst, but I'm not interested in it. Jack is a battery that lost its positive terminal. You might think that such a battery is useless. He's a negatively-charged ion. But none will ever do or ever take the place or be the perfect glove fit, as Carolyn. Too bad for him. He's engaged right now in damage control. If he finds a positive ion, he'll sacrifice her, too. But his charge is slowly waning. There's a price on the artifacts. |

Working for a major UK water company I'm very well acquainted with what's there ![]() |
