God Sat There
God sat there, feeling glum, his chin propped on the palm of his hand as he idly twiddled his white beard with lazy fingers. The six day acid trip had given some fun moments, but now he gazed at his creation feeling empty and jaded. His eyes roamed aimlessly over the infinite detail of the slowly revolving Earth, pausing here and there as some creature or other stumbled along it's path of destiny. Godhood, like this random jumble of life he'd just made, seemed to be meaningless.
Then he saw Her! Her bright eyes smiled up at the dark heavens with a blend of coy innocence wrapped in provocative knowingness. Or was it the other way round? His pulse raced. "Holy fuck-sticks!", he coined a brand new phrase to express his delight. Now a sense of purpose pervaded his omnipotent mind. Inspired, he invented sunshine so that he could see her better.
As the new Sun rose he called to her in a deep resonant voice. "Dawn - I shall call you Dawn!"
She glowed back at him with impish charm, "No Mister. Dawn's over there under that tree, shagging some snake called Adam. I'm her sister, Eve!"
"Fancy an apple?" she innocently enquired, shyly rocking her naked shoulders as she held out the blushing fruit.
He stared down at her in stunned silence. God was mightily confused! What had he created? Thing's seemed to be running quite beyond his control.....!!!
