An Earnest Tragedy

Demons by Doja Cat plays.

“I warned you.” says Elliott Roosevelt.

Lacey walks into the drawing room of a dead French aristocrat. With a French interpreter. And the Holy Spirit.

“Kill the noise. Rock the vibrancy. Give up the goody gumdrops. Load em in.” says Lacey. “Now. Ask Him.”

Rules by Doja Cat plays.

“You’re schizophrenics.” says a male French aristocrat.

“Are you?” says Lacey.

“Downright.” he says.

“Chill.” says Lacey.

“This song isn’t complete.” he says.

“It’s got the idea.” says Lacey.

Stronger by Kanye West plays.

C.S. Lewis sits in the French drawing room.

“You’re right.” Clive says to Lacey.

“Is it a victory?” asks Lacey.

“They hate it.” says Clive.

“Then it’s the end?” says Lacey.

“If it’s real…how could it not be?” says Clive.

“But I can’t tell.” says Lacey. “It’s perverse.”

“They’re not all particularly human like us.” says Clive.

“They’re what?!?” yells Lem.

“She gains power every winter.” says Clive. “They’re like evil rabid apes.”

“How did I irritate the apes?” asks Lacey.

“By asking them to do math.” says C.S. Lewis. “They don’t feel they have to do math.”

And at that Princess Margaret does a gorgeous dance to Midnight City by M83 waiting for a Royal Dawn of Heaven.
