An Atheist Feminist Pens a Fairytale…

(SCENE: An estranged couple crying for help to find their way back to love.)

HE: It is possible to get Her!

I’m tellin’ you - we can do it!

SHE: We cannot! You know, maybe She wants nothing to do with us.

Maybe She holds the secrets and deems us unworthy.

HE: Whothehell does She think she is?

SHE: Don’t be a fool.  We know only too well who She is and, make no mistake about it, so does She!

HE: What really matters is, does She know us?

SHE: Who cares?

HE: I care!

SHE: But, does She?

HE: Dunno!

SHE: Yeah. That’s the problem, isn’t it?

HE: Have you tried to find Her?

SHE: Maybe. But, really, fuck that. Shouldn’t She find me? Us? Let us know She’s there, here, and She wants to help us find  our way back to happiness?

HE: Yeah, maybe. 

SHE: I get sick of trying. I’m fine on my own.

HE: I called out for Her last nite when feeling really bad and…nothing. 

SHE: Me, too. This morning. Nothing.

HE: Just can’t ever seem to get Her!

SHE: Hey! I have an idea!  What if we, the two of us, call out together to get Her help?

HE: Together? To get her?

SHE: Yeah….

HE: Ok…We can try.

IN UNISON:

Hey, God!

And, with that, just that….

Love renewed, angels could be heard on high singing…

…Whenever two or more of you…

…gathered in Her name…

There is love…
