This shit is FUCKED UP. And there's not even any water to clean the fucking blood off of me.



How and WHY did the fucking water in the PIPES turn into blood? I WAS TAKING A FUCKING SHOWER.

For someone of Bostonian extraction, I'm surprised you're not familiar with Exodus.

According to the biblical account, God set a series of plagues on Egypt to convince Pharoah to set his slaves free to worship as they should. Pharoah's refusal was answered with ten plagues in turn.

The first of which was that the rivers and sources of water turned to blood, killing fish and other water-based life.

If this continues according to the biblical model, next we'll be in for a flood of frogs or some other amphibian creatures, a swarm of gnats and biting insects, a horde of wild animals, a plague upon livestock, a plague of some skin disease usually rendered as "boils", a storm of hail and fire, a swarm of locusts, the descent of an impenetrable darkness, and, ultimately, the death of every first-born child.

I can't say I'm looking forward to any of them.



...I'm ashamed to say that even the problem of Flagg somewhat confounded me. It's almost ironic that three Nephilim children succeeded in delivering us from his menace, though I doubt attempting to throw the Plagues of Egypt back through the Rift will be possible in any sense of the word.

I know about the plagues. I mean, contrary to what people might think, I was baptized and had communion and confirmation and everything. I could say the fucking rosary in my sleep. But the fucking plauges of Egypt? SERIOUSLY? I mean, do we have any confirmation, or is it just blood? I mean, maybe it's just a freak... blood... appearance?

Because I remember what fucking comes later. And my dad's a slut, so I might be safe from that last one, but, uh, I know many people who WON'T be.




...are you the oldest kid in your family?

Well, a woman was crucified in Grant Park, and apparently our mayor was the Devil incarnate. It seems Chicago is following a pattern.

...to the best of my knowledge, yes. I am.

Fucking fuck.

Would it be ridiculous of me to ask you to get your hands on some fucking lamb's blood if this theory pans out?

I'll be the first in line to buy a lamb. Or, failing that, to hire a very good conjurer.

I do wonder about the practicality of organizing a safe space for eldest children – a public building, perhaps a gymnasium of some sort – and anointing the doors with blood. If this theory pans out, I imagine that supply of lamb's blood may not be able to keep up with demand.

It might be best. Let's see if we get anything new before jumping to conclusions though. 'Cause... it might be a coincidence.
