Delivery for the Damned: On Magic and Reality
Added 2021-01-28 07:17:20 +0000 UTCOur world did not always have magic.
Magic was brought into existence by one Mr. Jasper Smocke on the night of October 18th, 1987, at approximately 7:02 pm, Greenwich Time, four miles outside the town of Palnackie in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.
Mr. Smocke, you see, was indecisive.
Whilst standing at a crossroad that divided in not two but three directions, Mr. Smocke was unable to decide which route was best. Faced with this impossible choice, his atoms simply split. Not in a nuclear way, but rather in a very polite English sort of way (for Mr. Smocke, despite being in Scotland, was a Manchester man by birth and breeding).
One version of Mr. Smocke went left, the second version went straight, the third version went right, and the fourth version of Mr. Smocke perished at the crossroad, unable to make up his mind.
And when Mr. Smocke split, reality shattered.
