“I never dropped her.” says Jack Kennedy about Jackie Kennedy.

Silence.

“Hey! Don’t worry!

Jackie still love us! She’s just in a weird place right now.

She’s…realizing she’s a bad lady.

But she’ll be back. And we’re allowed to hate her until she apologizes!” says JFK in a warm, humorous, attempted father-role.

“But Jack you’re evil. Don’t patronize me.” says a reader.

“Dude! What the fuck?

Who is writing this!?

…I hate this.” says a reader.

“Yeah. But she’s right.” says a woman.

“Mm. Maybe?” says another guy.

“How about we…be honest? She’s just right!” says another guy.

“I think she’s…right.” says another reader.

“So…who the fuck is Vladimir Putin?” asks another reader. “Right!? Because it’s strange how the intelligence analysts in the US don’t ever ‘understand him’ or ‘his motives.’ He’s…possibly something like her…if this blog is to be found written in good faith and at least mostly accurate. …Why don’t Americans know these people? I have a feeling they’re…human and…it scares me.” says yet another reader.

And at that Jack’s residual energy that has been fighting to come back fades. If God is letting him cease to exist…he’s draining away like water down a faucet.

“I can still hear you!” he yells.

“Your one ear?” says Lacey. “Sweetie…you’re fading.” She looks sad. “I loved you like a mother. But you kept using that to hurt me. And betray me. And so…it should be obvious to you that I’m not God. I’m not God and I can’t save you.”

“But it was such real, profound love.” says JFK.

“All real love is. Why did you reject God? It’s tragic.” says Lacey.

“Yeah. I like this. In the end…Jack rejects God.

But does that make me love him more. Because he chose evil? Or does that make me…scared. Or happy? What if I can’t stand him and I’m happy he’s ceasing to exist?” says MSNBC.
