Saint Cuthbert of the Smoke Detector Battery at 3 AM

The Modern Hagiographer solemnly canonizes Saint Cuthbert of the Smoke Detector Battery at 3 AM — patron of all who are roused from sleep by the relentless, soul-piercing chirp, who stumble through dark halls in search of a replacement, and who stand barefoot on a chair at 3 AM, fingers falling short of salvation.

Each weekday at end-of-workday, a modern hagiographer canonizes one daily small American suffering — Saint of the Hold Music, Saint of the One AirPod, Saint of the Printer That Needs Cyan to Print Black.
