December Days 06 - Cluster F-Bomb

[silveradept]

[It's December Days time. Topic suggestions still welcome, but this particular topic is brought on by necessity.]

Get met by the south end of a southward traveling spear.

Experience the unique phenomenon of being struck by lightning. But not so unique as to live through it.

Be caught in a sandstorm and drown as the particulates jam your lungs and prevent oxygen exchange.

Stab yourself in both eyes in a regrettable pitchfork accident.

Piss off the god of fortune and be cursed with bad luck forever.

Be volunteered to permanently substitute into Loki's place under the Midgard Serpent while suffering Prometheus's punishment.

Get stuck in a time loop consisting solely of the moment in which your flesh is stripped from your bones by a nuclear incident.

And then, after all of that, be exposed to the truth of the triumph of entropy. Watch the universe go out until you are the last being left and realize they're is no more time and your karma is still unclean and you must re-experience it all again until you can get it right the whole time instead of only up to a point.

And then, maybe then, you will decide not to smash my window and steal my tablet, whomever you were. Because you took what was not yours. Even though it was old and dying and needs a very specific charger to work. Even though it probably would have been replaced soon enough.

At least the universe waited six years or so between break-ins. Can we turn the encounter rate for that down to zero now?

You didn't mention whether the insurance would cover a replacement, so I'm guessing that's a no?

Crap! D:

*offers hugs?*

[sithjawa]

Oh nooo >:( I'm so sorry to hear you have to deal with that, argh!

[umadoshi]

Ugh, that's horrible! >.< Why, people?!

[syntheid]

wow I'm so sorry, break-ins suck even if the thieves don't take things of high value

[nanila]

AUGH, THIEVES. >:(

I'm sorry.

[sandglass]

That's an incredible pain. I assume it was your car they broke into?

[wohali]

:( *hugs*

Can I hire you to throw curses on people for me? I'm awestruck at just how thorough that was.

The thievery and car damage is awful. I'm so sorry to hear it.

I only got stolen from once (whole house got robbed; lost things of sentimental and actual value) so I know how much it hurts and how vulnerable it can make anyone feel.

Wishing you all the best...

I feel for you. Sunday after Thanksgiving, in Phoenix, someone smashed the rear window of my wife's car and stole my 27" iMac. The reason it was in the car: it was having a problem with either the video card or the hard drive, it was hard to get a definitive diagnostic, and I was going to take it in for service.

The joy is that I've been unemployed since July. We put the $250 deductible on my credit card, and I'm waiting to here back from insurance about replacement. Fortunately we have a very good homeowner's policy.
