Omniscience means all-knowing, and some might say when you know all, you also know your own future, including the result of all your future decisions and choices… And you can't change them, because if you could, you didn't know the real future after all…
Omniscience robs a being of free-will (or course, you'd have to be omniscient to really know that…!). Of also of course, other's say no one has freewill at all - we just can't see the future to know that we don't.
In Watchmen, Dr. Manhattan told Silk Spectre that he was just as bound as everyone else, just as much a puppet as she was. The difference was, with him being omniscient, that he was a puppet who could see the strings…!
It's an unanswerable question - only omniscient beings might know… and they ain't tellin'!!
Will Kimber Lee ‘choose’ to join their club…?
As for describing her predicament, Bravo's Fig Newton analogies were too good to pass on…
Thanks for reading everyone!!

Wow, beautiful page Kim! Stop ittt!! I am going to go back and read the updates I missed, but I love the cosmos type of feel this page has!

@El Cid: Yeah, and if you know EVERYTHING, then how much would your personal life even matter compared to ... everything?!! Assuming you'd even care... if omniscience robs one of will, would we (could we...) muster up anything...?!!

@banes: Aww thanks!! I was dreaming of Miss Universe!!
KimLuster at 6:17PM, Oct. 3, 2016
@barry: you too...? And thanks so much!!!

@tupapayon: and it comes with high interest!

@Udyr: Thank you! And if you wanted to vomit over Eli then... well, that's how I wanted him to be... I hate him!! ;)

I think she'd have to give it up; knowing all about the futures of your loved ones would rob you of experiencing and sharing all those moments, and that may be too high a price to pay.

I also liked the idea from last page that the Universe sings. Very cool!!
Banes at 11:16AM, Oct. 3, 2016
So well written! And the page layout helps the vastness come through.

The same thing happened to me just last week. Beautifully designed page. Kim! Love how you incorporated the snake!

Free will is not really free... you still have to pay for it...

I really like the color palette through out this comic and your watercolors. The universe-background looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more how this unfold, her abuser is super creepy! It made me kind of want to vomit the entire arc with him becoming a giant mutant going on a spree.

@Aubrey: Thanks! I do love that symbol!!

@plymayer: You and I don't need religion, meditation, or philosophy... we know the shortcut...!!

@Whirly: Hrmmmmm :)

@Bravo: you're talking about the Novel Sphere, I believe - good one!! If you recall that short story title let me know...!!
KimLuster at 4:42AM, Oct. 3, 2016
@FC: that will get you far in life~!
Aubrey481 at 1:25AM, Oct. 3, 2016
Great page, love the central panel. :D I see what you meant when you mentioned the next page and the ouroboros!
plymayer at 11:18PM, Oct. 2, 2016
This exact thing happened to me. After a particularly heavy drinking session.
