THE SEAHORSE TROMBONE CASE

It's a neat feature. Handy too. The save state. What is it? Ok. On my phone I can play super nintendo games by using what's called an emulator. And it does this thing. Say you're playing Mario or something and your at a critical point that you always die at. Like a blue sky lack of bricks gap you need to jump over. You fell last time. You got another chance at the level. You get to the critical point and before you jump you stop. Know what happened last time. And take advantage of the fact that you playing on an emulator. You use the save state. It saves it. Right there. Everything about the game. The game. Your game. Everything you've done up to that point in your game that makes it your game. And you jump the gap. You fall. Again. Like before. So you'll have to retry the level all over again. Get to the gap and try not to fall again. But wait. The save state. You load it. What's this? You're at the gap right before you jump. Instant retry. The old jump never happened.

I wonder if God uses save states. I know I know. Why would God need save states he's beaten every Mario ever on its native platform even the ones that haven't come out yet. That withstanding I don't mean on Mario. I mean on real life. On reality. Like for fun. God likes fun. Say he's got every thing all lined up how he wants it. He saves it. Then he just leaves. Watches his machine work. Sees how long everything lasts before it all just auto-collapses. He and the angels make bets on how many earth years it will take. They play for halos and they play for keeps. And then when it does they make good on their bets and God loads the state again. And sets everything diferently this time and watches it go then.

t's funny with emulators sometimes. The save state and load state are very close together. Sometimes in a rush you hit the wrong button. You save it when you meant to load it or you save it accidentally at some point where your about to get smashed mortally in the face with a hopping winged turtle and don't realize or you just hit the button not intending to whatsoever and now you're stuck with the new saved state and you have to work with it. I wonder if God does that too. And that's when bad things happen.
