Silent Kalera never speaks,
Never whispers, never shrieks,
She never says a word at all,
But when she does, She'll kill us all.

Obviously, I'm not talking about the Good Kalera, here.  The Good Kalera speaks all the time...She tells The Truth and tells The Truth, and when they finally stuff her in to ground, she'll STILL tell The Truth.  It will just be harder to hear her, is all.

No, I'm talking about the Bad Kalera.  Silent Kalera.  The Kalera that watches us all, wrinkling her nose in disgust at the day to day stupidities, the petty cruelties, the abuse of pseudo-authority that permeates our daily lives...And that's not to mention the BIG stupidities we indulge in, as evidenced by America's relapse into know-nothing populism.

How long can we expect her indulgence to continue?

I'm guessing it won't be a very long time, given recent events.  Soon, she will speak...And you'll know when that happens.  You won't see boiling oceans, or earthquakes or volcanos, you won't see wars and rumors of wars (Well, no more than usual.).  You won't hear trumpets or seals breaking.

No, Kalera will simply say something along the lines of "SHUT IT DOWN.  SHUT IT ALL DOWN."...And it will.  The universe will fold up like a carnival huckster's tent, the lights will go out, and that will be that.

I imagine after that she'll step into the universe next door, and try her luck there.

Given the nature of "intelligent" life, at least as we know it, she'll wind up having something to say there, as well.

Or Kill Me.

My head is a far better place to exist in than this mudball is.   :lulz:

Roger, this is great.  You're like in my top five favorite writers.  

You know what I wish?  I wish a book existed that was co-written by Kurt Vonnegut and Roger.  They'd probably hate each other, but the result would be oh so beautiful.

Throw in Philip K Dick, and all the characters would commit suicide in the first chapter.   :lulz:

When she isn't sprouting extra arms and killing everyone at the pervert bar, that is.
