Word of the Day, afterclap. The word comes after my posting about the after time and trying to make a double exposure picture of myself praying one hand at a time and noting it looks more like clapping. In the after we see strange things become ordinary, and ordinary things become strange. Now i know a new word, afterclap. An unexpected subsequent event or repercussion. Something happening after an affair is supposed to be at an end. A problem or danger that arises after a threat is supposed to have passed.
