The Words and Thoughts of the Good Doctor, pt. 1

A snippet from a much longer interview with Dr. Aldous Edison Munchhausen of Angland.

"Were there to be a God above or one below possessed of a minute quantum of care for the human condition, would not they intercede in the day's suffering? Would not they either claim their responsibility as creator and right the greatest of wrongs-- if not indeed the smallest-- or disavow their relationship to the experiment of all that is and unmake it, marking it a failure and moving on? Though in this day it may seem trite-- as men and women far more erudite than I have phrased my quandary in more direct words than those I scribe here upon this late evening's page-- one must conclude that  he, or indeed she, either has been felled by the inexorable march of reason or has, to turn a phrase, 'left the kettle on'." -Dr. Aldous Edison Munchhausen

Dr. Munchhausen is the inventor of the Polypherniferic Ethermatic Time Carriage, a renowned traveler of the Queen's realm and beyond and a writer for the Gentleman's Retreat Monthly, published here in the Empire's esteemed capital.
