    People would soon block it out, as they do with other things out of their control. They’d mourn their dead, there’d be poems and ballads and darkly ironic stories about those squashed by the Hand, and figures of speech alluding to this, but people wouldn’t fret about it. And if it kills 365 people a year around the world, that is a fairly low death toll, so it would be classified with improbable but spectacular threats like sharks or volcanoes, rather than car accidents or heart disease.

      It was probably their own fault they got smooshed by The Hand, anyway. Obviously, they did heinous things no one knows about or The Hand wouldn’t have chosen them for smooshing.

        All Hail The Hand!

        We appease The Hand with our thoughts and prayers, that we might live within it’s palm and be lifted up to the heavens!

        Live Handedly And Thou Salt Receive The Eternal Thumbs Up!
