The life and times of your atypical college kid

In case you didn’t know, I’m flat-out obsessed with Steven Sharp Nelson.

“A new poll suggests the public feels that global warming is real.”

YOU DON’T SAY

Mr Ibis:  Back in my day, we had it all set up.  You lined up when you died, and you’d answer for your evil deeds and your good deeds, and if your evil deeds outweighed your good deeds, we’d feed your soul and heart to Ammet, the eater of souls.

Shadow:  He must have eaten a lot of people.

Mr Ibis:  Not as many as you’d think.  It was a really heavy feather.  We had it made special.  You had to be pretty damn evil to tip the scales on that baby.

People believe, thought Shadow. It’s what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen.

We do not always remember the things that do no credit to us. We justify them, cover them in bright lies or with the thick dust of forgetfulness. All of the things that Shadow had done in his life of which he was not proud, all the things he wished he had done otherwise or left undone, came at him then in a swirling storm of guilt and regret and shame, and he had nowhere to hide from them. He was as naked and as open as a corpse on a table, and dark Anubis the jackal god was his prosector and his prosecutor and his persecutor.
