Deus ex Machina

For those who have read "The Dark Tower" you know how King places ridiculous pieces into the text and even refers to them as Deus ex Machina. The notes that are left by the author himself for the characters to know how to act. Now, I don't think myself to be in a book, though watching The Matrix and reading Sophie's World have convinced me that it is not entirely evident. There is however a strange phenomenon. A leg broken off of a table sits on the landing of the apartment below me. It always catches my attention. Now, Wednesday, I find another table leg sitting in the back room of the CW storefront. Spooky. Either I will be clubbed to death by one someday, or it will fall from the sky into my hand at the very moment when I need to bring Excalibur down on somebody's skull. Or maybe it is just a flimsy table design that was widely distributed throughout Cleveland.
