Double Drabble - Divine Intervention
****
“Jack! I cannot see how this will work. It seems impossible.”
“Improbable. But nonetheless, there is nothing to say it won’t work.”
“And nothing to say it will.”
“Ah, but it will.”
“I say it won’t.”
“Well, you see, Will, that is where we differ. You look at this and see only that which can go wrong, whereas I see all that can go right. It is just a simple matter of perspective, really.”
“So, you’re telling me that this cannot possibly go wrong?”
”It might. Possibly. Maybe. But I have all confidence it will not.”
“You know, Jack, there is a major difference between a thing that might go wrong, and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong.”
“And what might that be, luv?”
“When a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible to solve without divine intervention.”
“And wouldn’t that, then, be where you come in?”
”I may be immortal Jack, but I am hardly divine.”
“Ah, but here is where we differ again. Whereas you, dear William, may not think yourself so, I happen to find you most heavenly. Divine, indeed.”
“Indeed?”
“In deed, thought and action.”
“Divine?”
“Indeed.”
