Well, congrats to all of you who predicted this…may the couch protect us from the oncoming storm.

And I just remembered that Othar was still on the airship the last time we saw him, meaning we are about to get Klaus and Othar in the same place for this first time since the beginning of the comic.

Actually, the couch may not be enough to protect us from the oncoming chaos

Prayer for the Angry Voter

Dear Heavenly Father,

What the f*ck.

I mean seriously,

What the f*ck

Do you see what we need to deal with down here

I know we’re supposed to treat you with reverence and respect

But frankly

Right now

I don’t care

I have done everything I was supposed to do

I got up early and filled out my ballot

And now what

We’re left with this

This country one the burst of tyranny, in the stupidest way imaginable

And I know, you are not the one to blame here

This situation is entirely human in nature

(Though they are using your name

So if you could do something about that

Maybe

At some point)

So because of that

It’s up to humans to fix this mess

But please

I’m only one person

I am not a saint

I am not a martyr

I am just a scared girl

A girl

Who right now

Needs someone to listen to her

To tell her that it is going to be alright

And right now I can’t find that on earth

Because everyone here is as scared as I am

And though I have been praying

Begging

For any outcome but the one I see

I can’t find it in my heart to have faith that this will work out

Does that make me a bad believer

Quite possibly

But endless faith can only go so far

And I have dragged my faith as far as it will go

Till the thread by which I dragged it frayed and snapped

And with it withering up

All that is left is fear

And rage

So I guess that’s why I am praying to you today

For two things

First

For someone to listen

Because I have been taught that whenever we pray

You will listen

And right now I need someone to listen to me

To let my words be heard

By someone who won’t run away and hide like so many are doing

Like I want to do

Second

I want to ask for something

Because not matter how this ends

It is going to be a mess

Beyond and I have seen in my life

So please

Heavenly Father

Give me strength

To see my actions through

Give me wisdom

To know what actions I need to take

To make this situation better

And most of all

I beg of you

Give me courage

Give me will

Give me the ability

To use the strength and wisdom you have given me

That in spite of the fear consuming me right now

I can sure the rage burning in my heart

To go out there and make a difference

And make sure that this time me voice will be heard
