We see the final battle between the new gods and the old gods, and Kate and Daniel are trying to keep their secrets hidden, or they risk losing all their allies.
I have a thing about afterlives. You guys have a pretty good idea of that.
So I have in my head this little cafe where all of the inventors of the little, vital things we can’t live without hang out. You know, the inventors of straws, paper clips, zippers, baby bibs with little pockets to catch solid food, disposable diapers, adhesive maxi pads, shoelace tips, etc would all hang out together. They’d drink coffee. Except for the inventor of the straw. He always goes for something fizzy.
Edison wouldn’t be invited.
And the woman who invented the shoelaces would hate the guy who invented the little tips, and he’d hate her, and then they’d sneak off to have “mad crazy hate sex.” (According to Matt Wallace.)

…and then they would agree not to see each other ever. Except she got pregnant and wanted him to be apart of the kids life, he refuse. The kid grows up and becomes angry every time he ties up his shoe. Then he comes up with a new invention that would help him forget his father…velcro.
These people could really hang out at this little place in my head that had been bugging me lately. I love the part about shoelace lady and shoelace-tip guy.
You have very much tipped something over in my head today, thank you Mur. In the end it may have little to do with Day 7 here, but the gears… you’ve greased them.
I cannot wait to use this one! Thanks for Poughkeepsie. The “mad crazy hate sex” line gave me my first real guffaw of the day.
Remember, proper “mad crazy hate sex” involves ripping each other’s clothes off while whispering “I hate you,” punctuated with a deep kiss.
So, it would be like the small-time ivnetors version of The Captain’s Table? Cool. If only I wasn’t still editing my current project…
Aglets, by the way.
The dialogue possibilities for this setup = endless. This one’s a keeper!
I’d be chillin’ with Tesla! Tesla, the dude who pwnd Edison’s direct current with alternating current!
I likey. I also love that “mad crazy hate sex” line too. Kudos to all involved in that gem.
