Yesterday I happened to write this poem as a bit of fun horror (mostly just to amuse myself) about a Dentist who made a deal with a sort of evil Tooth Fairy like creature. The main inspiration being the idea was this group I belong to online called Themes of Horror which provides a list of themes for members to then use to create a work of art in any medium. I just happened to randomly pick Dentists as my next theme to use and one of my favorite modern horror films was this movie that I saw some ...

I am not sure whether the universe is deterministic, but it seems to be mostly determined by cause and effect, and I have never seen anything that did not appear to have a cause.
