"That less than 48 hours since the first reported miracle, what they used to call impossible was already starting to feel routine."
So much human truth there. We, right this moment, are living a miracle. Writing to one another through glowing glass that would be MAGIC at any other time in known history, and to us it's an everyday thing with a cracked screen and funky thumb smudges.
So of course we'd become inured to the miraculous--we already are!
Oh, dude, I LOVE that observation! Which had, of course, not even remotely occurred to me. Once I start untangling the web, I see connections to my earliest wildly-optimistic pre-publishing work (which still had a whoooole lotta darkness). And THE BRIDGE was the inverted worst-case scenario of that! So I'm coming all KINDS of full circle!
I'm hooked!
YAAAAAY!!!
Yeah, that was fucking awesome.
This shit right here:

Very excited to see where this is going!
THANK YOU, KIND SIR! And yes to the miraculous, already in progress!
AWWW YEAH!
I like that this starts where THE BRIDGE ended, figuratively speaking--with the world transformed.

That's how I want to go. A screaming pillar of light.
Good shit man. Looking forward to more!
THANKS!!! Though, frankly, I'd advise against pillaring, as a rule. There's just SOOOOOO MUCH SCREEEEEEEEAMING!!!
Oh yes, hooking me on the first page.
That's its job! WOOOO-HOOOOO!!! I'm so glad! THANK YOU!!!
