A deck of what? A deck of cards? A deck, as in part of a ship?

Perhaps it's like the verb, like "deck the halls."

Think of each thread like a card in the deck and the illusion that is reality has just been BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS.

What are smithereens, anyway? You're always blown to them/it. Is it like a place? You get blown to a place called Smithereens?

I looked it up on Wiktionary. It said:
From Irish smidiríní, diminutive form of smiodar (“‘fragment’”).
smithereens (plural only)
1. Fragments or splintered pieces; numerous tiny disconnected items.
The urn shattered into smithereens the moment it hit the ground.

I think I like the place better, too...
Unless its also derived from the Irish. Then it'd be crawling full of evil leprechauns.
That was random and extremely awkward.
