[Locked to Adrian]Every one of the Biblical plagues was invoked and recalled by a specific act of will. Every one of them had a purpose. But so far as I know, Chicago doesn't have a Pharaoh, and no one is an agent of calling these down and banishing them. They're tied to a clock - the ultimate in

Yeah, only child. parents never really wanted to give birth again after me. i was a bit of a handful. What about you? Though guess it wouldn't matter seein how you can't die.

Thought i was dyin the other day for sure. i was really sick but i guess all the animal sorts were gettin that way, yeah? still. every day after sort of seems like a gift now even if i've only got a handful of them left.

You think it'll be quick?

....guess the bible never really goes into details about that.

First child. I had two younger siblings, about seven years younger. Which is somewhat surprising, considering how well my mother and I didn't get on. Then, maybe she knew something I didn't, because the twins tended to be a lot better at that.

...in my experience religion doesn't care too much about its victims. "Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well." You'd think that a merciful god would make it quick, but you'd also think that a merciful god wouldn't take the sons of the innocent, and it was God who hardened Pharaoh's heart in the first place.

People are doing all they can to ward it off. It might work. If it didn't work, if it wasn't quick, I could

I'll be here, in any case. Dying's not particularly new, to me.
