Emma Colette is a wealthy young lady who often visits the shack of her friend Ed where they have many discussions. Emma despises copyright and never hesitates to voice out her chagrin for it.

EPISODE 12; EMMA COLETTE IN ‘SO THE DAM BREAKS’ AKA ‘THE ORIGIN OF MADNESS’

EMMA COLETTE IN 'SO THE DAM BREAKS' AKA 'THE ORIGIN OF MADNESS'

'Time flowing backwards looks the same as Time flowing forwards. If the clock were to move counterclockwise, the Sunset would be the Sunrise and the Dawn would be the Sunset (Try performing a Daily Timelapse Vid in Reverse, you'll get it. The only things moving backwards in that video will be Living Things and their Creations). The Sunset is just another Type Of Dawn and the Dawn, another type of Sunset. Time determines what role each plays.'

- By Ed.

- Prospective Husband Of Emma Colette.

DRAMA…

Emma: Goodmorning Ed, what'ze plan for Today?

Ed: 'So The Dam Breaks' aka 'The Origin Of Madness'. You know in Ghanaian Twi, the Word 'Madness' or 'Ab)dam' can be transliterated as 'To beat the Dam' or 'To break the Dam'.

Emma: Tongue Twisters huh? So what'ze point?

Ed: Knoweth ye the essence of Madness?

Emma: A broken mind?

Ed: No no no, if that were the case, there'd be Asylums in the Animal World however in the entire Animal World there is only one animal associated with Madness. Fine, animals do get depressed at times but none other than the 'Bull' is directly associated with Madness. There's even a whole expression about 'Bull Dung' to justify my stance. You don't even wanna know the Ghanaian Twi/Fante word for 'Fool', it almost sounds like the Word for 'Sunday'.

Emma: Poor Bull. Talk about Targeted Animal Racial Injustice.

Ed: But you would actually be shocked to know that the concept of Madness did not actually originate in the World Of Men but the World Of The Gods. This simply is the essence of Madness.

SCENARIO…

Soldiers at a Parade

Commander: (Blows Whistle) Left hut!

(The Line uniformly turns to the left. The commander inspects the line closely and notices one soldier turned to the Right).

Commander: MADNESS ALERT! TAKE HIM TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT!

Ed: Madness only manifests when a 'Group' is ordered to conform to 'One' pattern. Now the story begins…

IN HEAVEN…

Gods: Let the Spirits be birthed!

(A Myriad appears).

Gods: All Spirits bow before me and prove your allegiance.

(All bow uniformly as the Gods blink. The Gods open their eyes and see that one Spirit is standing).

Gods: MADNESS ALERT! TAKE HIM TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT!

Ed: It was at that moment that the Gods realized that they had just committed a grievous error.

Emma: Ed…you be dangerously teetering on that precipice called 'blasphemy'.

Ed: (Ignores her) Here are some more Biblical Examples Of 'The Dam Breaking'. The Gods create Light and Darkness, two things. They create the Sky to separate Water above from Water below; one divided by one. They create the land, sea and vegetation, three things. They create the Sun, Moon and Stars, three things. They create the Fish and the Birds, Two things. They create Animals and Man, Two Things. Never throughout the sequence of creation did God create a single solitary object and up until that point everything was good.

Emma: Why do I sense a serious travesty coming?

Ed: That one time when the Gods said 'You may eat from 'all' except 'one'. That was when the Dam broke and Madness was birthed.

Emma: Oh…my…dear…Gods!

Ed: Example 2! All of Mankind swings to the left except for one dude who swings to the right… 'Noah had no faults and was the only good man of his time. He lived in fellowship with God but everyone else was evil in God's sight and violence had spread everywhere'.

Emma: The one time it says that God was depressed.

Ed: Guess what happens next…the Dam breaks!

Emma: Ed…

Ed: Example Three! There are Twelve brothers but their father favours one the most…what happens next. Ten throw one in a dry well…then the Dam breaks!

Emma: You can't be serious!

Ed: Example Three and a half! There is a Global Famine. Only one man has the solution and can save everyone. The whole world flocks to him including Eleven Brothers. He hides his Silver Cup in the Sack of one brother…guess what happens next….the Dam breaks!

Emma: This is actually becoming a Pattern!

Ed: That's not even the Punchline. There is a Foreign Nation thriving within a Native Nation. The Native Nation decides to cull the Foreign Nation's Population by guess what…drowning the Male Babies. One Mother hides her child in a Woven Basket…then guess what…the Dam Breaks in a very grievous way. What you now call 'The Ten Plagues Of Egypt' and 'The Birth Of Israel'.

Emma: Now I'm interested.

Ed: Example Four! God shuts down his Networking Platform for centuries. One boy sleeping in the Temple hears a voice calling his name…then the Dam breaks!

Emma: My God! What a theme!

Ed: A Giant and his Army comes to threaten the Nation. Everyone goes to War to defend the Nation. Even holding Swords, they tremble, there is always that one boy who decides to confront the Giant with a sling…and doesn't tremble, guess what happens next…the Dam breaks!

Emma: My God! The hissatsu waza(ultimate jutsu) of the Hebrew Juice! There are Dams breaking everywhere!

Ed: Now comes the Punchline. The Gods see all of this happening, notice the pattern then come to the realization that that one Mad Spirit at the beginning of time who decided to stand and not conform may have a point…but only with this Law so they decide to test the theorem. So guess what the Gods do…they take Human Form, are born into the poorest family, knowing full well that everyone expects a Soldier Class to come liberate the Nation, the Gods choose the Healer Class, knowing full well that the Priestly Class expect the Ultimate Judiciary, the Gods 'flex' the rules and tell everyone that the rules are 'immutable', then they tell everyone that they are the Liberators…guess what happens next…

Emma: The Dam breaks?

Ed: No…all Hell breaks loose and it ends dramatically with a Crown Of Thorns and a Cross atop a Skull…then…and only then…the Dam finally truly breaks fracturing Time itself in two.

PUNCHLINE…

Ed: Whenever you try to get a 'Group' to conform to a 'Specific' Pattern…that is the Birth Of Madness…then…the Dam Breaks!
