Merchant of Peace

Zoom, zoom – 110%, 120%, 200%, 300%, 400%, 425%..

Well, there is a whitish rectangle resembling a phone, with an obsessed finger running across it.

The person I see as a merchant of peace trading the world for mental well-being is as ordinary as everyone else…

I don’t want my story to suffer, so I surmise he may be messaging God, or another astronaut stuck in space.

Just then, the branch supporting him gives way ….

It’s another message from God.

Interpret it as you like.

This is how writers of mythological fiction, fake history, and opinion-peddlers on social media build their case.

Viewers bask in the light cast on select parts, becoming mute like the mountains, leaves and grass.

Another day breaks, but it is not the same as yesterday, and tomorrow will be different. Constructed truth takes time to penetrate the skin but changes the world.
