The crane is visible in the second ray of sunlight shooting out from the mountains and when it landed is when I started thinking of the terrible mother and my vas deferens skein tangled in her withered fingers. Then it dawned on me that her knitting needle acultomancy served to spell out a warning about the 1 caught in the ductus deferens wrapped up in her rugose digits. She then spit some abreq ad hâbra, ‘hurl your thunderbolt, even unto death' incantation abracadabra-wise and I watched the 1 shoot out of the urethra and wiggle through the zero gravity corona radiata and zona pellucida and into the ovum nucleus. Soon the 1 was moonshine still born and when the singular 1 baby was handed to me by the very surrogate sex bot that provided a cryogenic womb for it, the odd number announced that it was the 1! The 1 that is in every zero sum. Which is everyone.
BTW There is a Metaverse glitch in the above pastoral report in that I’m not the 1 who knocked up the bot. How could I seeing how strung out I was downstairs. No doubt that there is some innumerate, dead beat dad at large, hiding in the human equation, looking for an easy way to make the child support payments, with nuts still intact.
TBC

When I read:
“the odd number announced that it was the 1! The 1 that is in every zero sum. Which is everyone.”
I thought at that very split second the whole universe may completely disintegrate into timelessness and begin again because you discovered it’s secret unexpectedly.
