altarielThe number called was B1.
My cards and prompts were:
Economy: Agriculture
Write what you know: Title and/or lyrics from the last song you listened to
Alternate Viewpoint: Riddles in the Dark
God’s Gonna Cut You Down
Someone has always had to do the dirty work: to clean, to clear, to dig, to reap, to sow.
Not here. Never again.
We have cleared huge tracts of land and built great machines for cultivation. We have studied our own lifespan and used that knowledge to good purpose. Our livestock does not sicken and our plants do not wither. Our rural and urban poor have benefitted from cheaper and more various food, and from the leisure hours available to them as a result of better work.
We are sowing seeds for our future. We are coming to full bloom.
The Adjudicators
“That’s not a riddle, it’s a question!”
“Well, I think that rather depends on whether he’s speaking physically or metaphysically.”
“I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that.”
“No, you never do...”
“Will you two shut up? I’m trying to listen!”
“Well, what does he have in his pockets?”
“I don’t know!”
“The Doom of Men.”
“Oh, you always say that! Not string. Not his hands. Not nothing... Oh.”
“Oh dear.”
“Quite.”
They waited. Time passed.
“Did we determine whether we thought that was a riddle or a question?”
“I’ll let you know what I decide,” said Mandos.
