Uncanny Monday

Mary Worth, 10/13/25

OK, sorry, Mary, I know you don't want to think too hard about the strange logic of Olive's powers and the implications for free will and the nature of time itself, but what Olive's saying doesn't make any sense. Oh, she didn't have a feeling of doom before the balloon crash, because it all worked out in the end (due to her psychic powers, not her prophetic powers)? So how do her visions sometimes help change the future? What about the time she was able to stop Mary from being killed by a falling air conditioner? That scenario had a happy ending, and yet ... wait. Did Olive have the unmistakable feeling of doom because Mary survived? Holy shit. Holy shit. This whole thing just got a lot more twisted.
