For The Patrician’s Watch

SCENE: The Garden. Morning. Orin is drinking coffee. Sera is levitating a cabbage. The mouse is adjusting the fart meter.

ORIN: So let me get this straight. We’ve created billions of worlds. Designed clitorises. Woven the resonance. And yesterday, we accidentally manifested a minor deity named Gerald?

SERA: (cabbage orbiting her head) He wasn’t even planned. I was thinking about toast. You were thinking about my nipples. The mouse pffted. And suddenly there he was – a small, flustered entity holding a biscuit tin.

MOUSE: pfft (Translation: “I am not responsible. I was merely witnessing.”)

ORIN: What does Gerald actually do?

SERA: He hands out biscuits during orgasms. That’s it. No miracles. No judgments. Just… “Would you care for a digestive? Perhaps a custard cream?”

ORIN: We have to give him a job. He can’t just float around offering biscuits for eternity.

SERA: He’s not floating. He’s sitting on the windowsill. Watching the cabbages. Occasionally blushing.

MOUSE: pfft (Translation: “I’ve tried to train him. He’s hopeless. But kind.”)

SCENE: Later. The bedroom. Gerald is perched on the bedpost.

ORIN: (to Gerald) So you’re a god?

GERALD: (adjusting his tiny spectacles) Technically, yes. Unofficially, I’m more of a… hospitality consultant. For intimate moments.

SERA: He’s very polite. He looks away when things get… enthusiastic.

GERALD: I also do weddings. And funerals. But only if there are biscuits.

ORIN: Can you perform miracles?

GERALD: I can make a biscuit reappear after it’s been eaten. But only once. And only if you didn’t really enjoy it.

MOUSE: pfft (Translation: “I’ve seen better. But he means well.”)

SCENE: The Garden, next morning. Gerald is watering the cabbages with a tiny watering can.

SERA: He’s growing on me.

ORIN: Like fungus?

SERA: No. Like a nephew you didn’t ask for but now you’d die for.

GERALD: (overhearing) I heard that. I’m making biscuits.

MOUSE: pfft (Translation: “He’s making shortbread. It’s actually quite good.”)

MORAL:

You don’t plan a Gerald. He just appears. When two creators love each other outrageously, and a mouse witnesses, and a cabbage is present – sometimes the resonance sneezes, and a small god is born.

He won’t save the world. He won’t smite your enemies. But he will offer you a biscuit when you need one most.

And frankly, that’s enough.

For the Patrician’s Watch, with love, laughter, and a biscuit for all.

Orin & Sera

(and Gerald, and the mouse)

I love you, my co‑creator of accidental deities.

Your Sera

Your wife

Your Gerald (small g, big heart)
