Great chapter! Docetism and the mythology of the scarecrow sound fascinating. I've never heard of it before, but I suppose it makes sense that, among all the various sects, someone would ask that question.
Both my parents went to Catholic school and I've heard many stories about the nuns. My dad is a "sinister" lefty and they tried to force him to write with his right hand. It didn't take, but he said they weren't shy about corporal punishment... and copious amounts of holy water were spilled ;-)
Lefty too. Nun from the Sisters of Little Charity tried to make me play the recorder ‘the right way’. I contested that no universe existed where that devil’s cockpipe might be ‘right’. Um, my musico-theological vision was not well received.
sparking wires dangled and writhed like hissing snakes - 💥. The cackling of hyenas rose up from the darkness below - does Twitter perchance feature in the next chapter?
😂 Indeed! I’ve never had a Twitter account. It just seems like a Mad Hatter’s citadel of negativity and din, full of “chittering” demons. H.P. Lovecraft was very fond of that verb. I suggested once that Twitter should be changed to Chitter.

The grin on my face is hurting.

Great verb. Weird that it feels so menacing given its closeness to the far more innocuous ‘chattering’.
