Coincidence or cosmic point?

Yesterday, after several weeks of brainstorming, I sat down and began to write a dissertation on the election of 2016 and its various problems. What started as a somewhat brief idea ballooned, and by the time I was finished, I had written over 10,000 words in a file I named Trump. Unfortunately, the more I typed, the weirder my computer kept acting: slowing down, taking forever to save, just being strange.

This morning I went to open the file, and Word refused, stating "We cannot open Trump because we have found a problem with its contents." I clicked "details" and got "Trump has been found to be corrupt."

Well, that kind of sums it up.

OMG. Sometimes there are metaphors that just beat us over the head, no?

Yep.
