Harvey’s Advice to God
A random drabble
Today’s random word is confines.

Please be an angel and stick around for 30 seconds or so. It will mean your read counts, and that would be divine. Just as divine would be claps, highlights and comments.
We don’t see the confines that God must contend with. He’s complaining to Harvey, a devilishly handsome angel, about it.
“How can I be omniscient and give free will? Surely, if I know something, it has to happen? Can I change it? And who decides what is good? Me!?”
Harvey’s thinking about the spaghetti bolognese he’s eating later. Humans come up with amazing food ideas. However, he hasn’t followed God’s multiple trains of thought. Maybe a human idea could be useful here too.
“Have you ever tried just being yourself?”
“You do not grasp the problem, Harvey! Let’s begin again.”
