God and a Believer Take a Smoke Break by Amatullah Bourdon
“Life’s a little intense don’t ya think?” / “I suppose it is.” / “Though I know things aren’t so intense now. No world-wide floods or anything.” / “None of my making.” / “The punishments, I get them, I totally get it. But the pillar of salt was a bit much.” / “Perhaps.” / “I mean you picked a hell of a time to be laissez-faire. We’re on our own out here.” / “As We intended.” / “I mean, I don’t even know what to do half the time.” / “We gifted you free will.” / “And the world is on fire.” / “So it is.” / “Why do we have to endure this loneliness?” / “Because We ask it of you” / “But why ask it of us?” / “Because I am lonely too.” / “How does God get lonely?” / “When one is born without equal, one cannot help but be lonely.” / “…” / “We have created you in Our image. You have inherited Our loneliness, for that We are sorry.” / “Don’t be.” / “Giving commands to God, are we?” / “It is my right.” / “That it is. That it is.”
