This one’s a thinker. I think it’s a power to the people moment. But the Void could be saying laws shouldn’t be changed. Maybe it’s the proximity to Halloween but I’m picturing the Void as a wraith.

I like the void’s stubborn unwillingness to consider amendments…well, maybe I don’t *like* it, but I like the way you’ve communicated it 🙂

I like the biblical and constitutional references you used here. Laws of decency are set in stone and timeless. Well done! ♥

Ah, yes, the Void is too often immovable. Lovely idea.
