The 2nd Thursday in june is Miracle day.
Today its raining Truncleopods and the windshield wipers on my car were magically replaced.
We usually wait around for every fifth or so year because, something to do with the planets alignment or something, but usually every fifth Miracle day is really really amazing.
Like, for the last one, June 8th 2006? World peace all day. I swear to god. They called it WPday for short. Because W-PAD day didn’t sound good. That, the peace thing, and there were also the myriads beyond myriads of magical beasts swarming the globe.
For one day,
- in the oceans, Eel Ghosts, Porpucuspules, Glow-Era Wales, Electric Crust-Aces, and all manner of magical schools swimming beneath the green tides; Farwhals, Nearwhals and Norwhals, Glacier wurms, SeaRay’s and of course the great Stingy Sponge
-in the skies, Firebirds, Air and Waterbirds, No-eye birds and All-eye birds, Bloody Venemous Clown Bats (OMG really? Yeah!!!! We fucking stayed in doors!) Jelly Angels, Great diamond-clawed Vampreys ( who are actually Vampire Lamprey’s, but we were so scared of the clown bats, we really didn’t give a fuck….) and so many other types of flying and flapping swoopers;
And
-on land, the formfitting fauna, such as the Equihorsey guys, the Pink Flamingos and Scorpy Riders (Scorpions who ride other scorpions through the desert). Giant Minks, who are so old and wise, you wish you could bother them for a riddle or something but, they just sigh and go about their miracle day….[1]
Man what I would give to have just 20 minutes listening to a Giant Mink deeply breathe and sigh…., on land…. Right
There were lot of also formless fauna, like that shit, that goops up all together and smushes itself around but then can shapeshift into anything, we called it ReallyPuddy, or, the BlinkCritters (who are gone when you blink, and then flicker back into existence one last time after you think your alone, so you once again know that you are just perhaps, a little too giddy on Miracle day) the Great Ancient Stone Ghosts and the Flickering Uglies everywhere…
Oh man that day was fucking incredible. We knew, because of the Karas Pact (C. Manga or something look it up….) that none of us would be harmed, that we were safe and sound in our one same verse…. But, I swear, that was probably the only miracle day I have been alive for that I always look back on as the best. ….
But on days like today, I still feel like miracle day is something for kids, like the rest of these holidays. The magic, the activities always unbeknownst and unplanned but simply,
Revealed…
Still is very strong for me, but its not so overwhelming anymore. When I was little I would see my dad do shit like I have to do now, like scrape ice off my car and I would say, “Dad, Dad why are you frowning?” and he would say he wasn’t and I would go ahead and ask, why he didn’t have a smile, strait on beaming like I did. And he would just shrug. Because he didn’t have a frown or a smile, just a face for scraping ice from your windshield while your kid is sitting in the car enveloped in awe and curiosity…
So, I guess, coming to realize then, that there are so many mundane things, that we still have to deal with on Miracle Day, that I wouldn’t really care if they just got rid of the whole thing all together.
Today anyway 1, 15, 1010 seems preety cool… oh shit… wait…
It’s the Third Thirsday!
Wait? What the fuck is happening? Why are there Miracles happening on Days other than Miracle Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????
Hey?! Wait that’s right! Last Thursday My house burned down while still standing (stayed fine the whole time, its hard to explain…) while I was at work and my kids told me that they stayed in side to watch it happen with the kittie… !
Meybe…. Maybe….meybe its, just, another new type of holiday? Which focuses on more, miracles? ?How come this wasn’t on the news today?
Speaking off stage
-hey honey? Did you see anything on cspan today about extra miracles?
-what?
-Extra Miracles… like, you realize that shit is going on out here and its not Miracle day anymore
-Oh, Ok. So whats the question?
-Sorry. Never mind….
Um. Oh. Kay…. Well…. I will go wipe some truncleopods off my car and see whatelse there is to see I guess…..
Uh…. Want a Krispy Kreme? I have a few extra?
He opens the box, and picks one up, and offers it to the audience…. A glowing pink Truncleopod crawls out and he doesn’t bat an eye
