“SMACKS OF Deus ex machina” is the only comment on the paper. That and a “D” circled for emphasis. I have to look it up. It apparently has something to do with the intervention of God, supernatural forces or dumb luck as a plot device. OK. Now, I know the rules. H.G. Wells suggested writers consider something out of the ordinary such as “if pigs could fly” as a story line. Apparently, he didn’t know the rules either.
