What is a deity?
It’s someone who encompasses their own self-will of appraisal.
Once someone is in the history of an area, a place, an epoch, a time, or even a simple work unseen, they become a force unto their own.
Here are my three characters, taken from art, at three stages whereupon I became one.
First:
“You appear with the tedious inevitability of an unloved season.” – Hugo Drax. Moonraker.
The relationship with Christine Warren, 1999.
Second:
“The moon is so beautiful. It’s a big silver dollar, flipped by God. And it landed scarred side up, see? So He made the world.” – Harvey Dent. Arkham Asylum: Serious House on a Serious Earth.
The conversion to Islamic Shi’ism, 2004.
Third:
“You are deluded, Captain. You pretend to be a simple soldier, but in reality you are just afraid to admit that we have left humanity behind. Unlike you, I embrace it proudly.” – Red Skull. Captain America.
Disavowment by Michael Sweeney, Huron tribesman, 2014.
