Almost 48 hours without heroine. A painful shitstorm before the hurricane. Here it comes.
She opened the lid and almost gagged. There wasn’t any toilet paper to line the seat. She would have to squat. There wasn’t any time. Drops of sweat formed and fell from her forehead like the first drops of rain. She flushed and lifted her skirt.
The toilet belched a series of dirty bubbles. Nasty, dry heaves roiled the unflushed, soupy content in the bowl. A foul, sulfury froth threatened to rise above the porcelain levee. She searched in vain for a plunger. Rising, rising to overflowing, human filth spilled and splashed onto the floor like vomit. Revulsed, she backed away and turned for the door. A slick tile caught her by the heel and down she went, with a grand finale of bright fireworks popping behind her eyes as her head hit the sink.
The wind was beginning to rise when she finally opened her eyes. With soiled fingers, she touched the painful knot on her head and began to cry, howling with increased intensity.
Blinking through stinging tears, she tried to focus. She stared up at the smudged walls. Graffiti preached to her. A blurry message: God loves you.

Proof God has a sense of humor? Maybe the creator is even inclined toward the dark humor side? Or, possibly, there’s a wee bit of the troll mixed up in the Godhood? :p I suppose living eternally with would get rather boring after a few millennia.

I think MY humor is dark!
As for the graffiti, it is indeed a blurry message that God loves the one laying in human feces . . . I genuinely want to believe that . . . but my faith is flickering with the lights. I’m writing to myself these days, working it out. I put my fictional character on the floor, covered in shit. Honestly, that’s where I’m at, personally. I hope the heavens will open. I hope someone up there will speak to me at some point. Right now, I’m way too familiar with the darker side of things.
p.s. It’s good to hear from you again. Peace.

(hugs) There’s a lot of power in the flickers. Flickers usually mean something interesting is about to happen. It’s been my experience that the darkness enhances the light, sort of purifies it, brings the focus back round to the light. Your story is very real, I’ve experienced the ways God does things enough to have seen very similar things. I wasn’t joking about God’s humor. I think the creator often uses humor in his healing. Even the scientists are starting to admit that humor can be healing. I know it’s often what keeps me sane. Yes, I think the creator has a dark humor that is displayed for those of us deemed worthy to wander in the mire. There are so many fiery moments dotting the pages of my life when the flickers flared, to flames, ignited by that dark humor. Keep flickering, lots of power there.
