My Wife
Writing prompt: Dude, I think your wife is an eldritch god
I am happily watching her singing to the kids and creating pictures of alternate realities to go along with her song when I remember what Brian said to me this afternoon.
“Dude, I think your wife is an eldritch god.”
“Yeah I know.”
“What? You knew and you married her? Wait, did you know before you married her or after? When did you work it out?”
“Whoa, whoa, hold your horses there partner. One question at a time. Yes I knew when I married her, and that answers the next question. As to when I worked it out, I think it was the third time we got an open table at a fancy restaurant that were passing by and she suddenly wanted to eat there. No way anyone natural can be that lucky.”
“After that I started watching her a bit closer and noticed how lucky she was. And then I started to notice that it wasn’t luck as she was creating opportunities where she was just in the right place at the right time. Which explains why I suddenly noticed my untied shoelaces and bent down just in time to be kneeling at her feet and then see her when I stood up and was smitten with love.”
“She’s a lovely, giving woman and no matter what her real form is, I love her and our kids and isn’t that all that matters?”
“Wait. You’ve seen her real form? And you aren’t insane?”
“Well yeah. And I’ve been insane about her for years. And her form doesn’t drive people insane, it’s just that some people can’t handle the psychic backlash as they try to view a 5th dimensional creature with a 3rd dimensional mind. If you aren’t capable of understanding it, she can be a shock but she doesn’t drive people insane. They were already insane and it just makes them show it more. Besides the kids love to see her change and it makes them laugh.”
