Genesis and Terminus

    In the beginning, She gave birth to the universe, crafted all forms and forces, and breathed reason into humanity.

    She smiled upon Her children.

    Humanity was a beautiful baby, and everyone was quite happy – for a time, not long. Humanity got cranky when it was teething, and resented being toilet trained, and began to throw screaming, kicking tantrums when it felt She wasn’t letting it be itself.

    But She only ever smiled.

    Humanity took to running away, spending time with other gods, rebelling to try to provoke a reaction. It would go days without spending a night at home.

    But She only ever smiled.

    Humanity started driving a motorcycle, drinking and doing drugs, winding up in jail more than once. It got into some brutal fights – it usually came out on top, but not without its share of bruises and black eyes.

    But She only ever smiled.

    Eventually, humanity’s bad decisions caught up to it, and one twilight it lay on the beach, watching its life juices draining away into the sea, until in the end its corpse was carried off by the rising tide.
    But She only ever smiled.
