The thing that goes badly wrong means that the someone we like has to take another step to get around the bad wrongness and back toward the something he wants VERY BADLY. He takes the next step, and everything goes even more badly wrong. Then he loses his map. Then his flashlight falls into a storm drain and he has an asthma attack and his seeing eye dog dies. Then the cop who pulls him over for speeding while driving drunk in the nude turns out to be the short-tempered father of the bride he is marrying tomorrow. Then it goes more badly wrong for the someone we like, much more badly. Then the party is attacked and scattered by a band of goblins, and then the Gollum is on his trail, and the lure of the Ring is slowly destroying his mind. Then he finds the blasted corpses of his foster parents killed by Imperial Storm Troopers, and his house burnt to the ground. Then Lex Luthor chains a lump of Kryptonite around his neck and pushes him into a swimming pool and fires twin stealth atomic rockets at the San Andreas Fault in California and at Hackensack, New Jersey. And the spunky but beautiful girl reporter falls into a crack in the earth and dies. Then he is stung by Shelob and dies. Then he is maimed by Darth Vader and discovers his arch foe is his very own father, and he loses his grip and falls. Then he steps out unarmed to confront Lord Voldemort and dies. Then Judas Iscariot kisses him, Peter denounces him, he is humiliated, spat upon, whipped, betrayed by the crowd, tortured, sees his weeping mother, and dies a painful, horrible death and dies. Then he is thrown overboard and swallowed by a whale and dies. Then he gets help, gets better, arises from his swoon, is raised from the dead, the stone rolls back, the lucky shot hits the thermal exhaust port, and the Death Star blows up, the Dark Tower falls, the spunky but beautiful girl reporter is alive again due to a time paradox, and he is given all power under heaven and earth and either rides off into the sunset, or goes back to the bat-cave, or ascends into heaven, and we roll the credits.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "John C Wright" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/john-c-wright-2/then-you-repeat-the-thing-that-goes-badly-wrong-means-that-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d65/john-c-wright-2-48995_conclusion_then-you-repeat-the-thing-that-goes-badl_2335025.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d65/john-c-wright-2-48995_conclusion_then-you-repeat-the-thing-that-goes-badl_2335025.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d65/john-c-wright-2-48995_conclusion_then-you-repeat-the-thing-that-goes-badl_2335025.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Then you repeat.
