Deus ex machina

Fantasy. Life has consequences and rough patches galore. Superman
doesn't swoop in at the last second to save the day, nor do things
like the economic stimulus package avert the disasters we see.

We love to hear the stories all the same be they fictitious or the
rare reality of the unexpected resolution. One of my favorite
versions of the this type of resolution is that found in "The Pirates
of Penzance" where a simple charge in the name of the queen and
another fantastical revelation cure all the ills of the entire story.

If life were a Gilbert and Sullivan I would just have to rough it out
until the finale, and it would be here sooner than later. Don forget
either that we would get some good music in the meantime. I don't have
the luxury of a script or a screenplay but sometimes I would mind a
bit of a synopsis or an outline.

Oh well, and whatever.
