🎧 The Trouble with Angels — Season 1, Episode 7
The Custodian of Creation: Fixing the Universe One Tear at a Time (Chapter 8)
By Glory Fink
Hannah thinks she’s hiding—pressed under an angel’s battered duster like a kid clinging to a motorcycle. But when she peeks out… she’s standing on the edge of a supernova.
In Chapter 8, Bob takes Hannah to a repair job in deep space—where reality has microtears, the stars are held together by routine maintenance, and the most holy tool in Heaven might just be… duct tape.
In This Episode (Spoiler-Light)
* A surreal “field trip” to the edge of a slowly exploding star
* A breathable bubble in a place no human should be able to stand
* Cosmic repairs: splints, seals, and extremely practical problem-solving
* Heaven’s bureaucracy vs. Bob’s “get it done” supply chain
* The reveal of Bob’s nano golems—and why they sound like bees
* A quiet pivot: purpose, burnout, and where angels go when they’re struggling
✨ Vibe Check
Cosmic workplace comedy • awe & wonder • tender grief • “maintenance is holy” energy • Good Omens-style celestial chaos with a soft, haunted heart.
