in the beginning God was bored.
so he created the universe in all its contradictory splendour and made people to fill it up and give it a point .
many of the people he created still debate the point and the usefulness of creating an entire universe for entertainment but that is a debate for another day.
we start our story right now. though it happened in a universe that has already ended. the story is happening as you read these words.
the universe, no, the multiverse started with god being bored. and so does this tale.
having explored trillions of worlds in all the multiversal matrix of the universe once again god was bored. infinite power can be so dull when there is nothing to limit you. sighing he sits at his computer which he had used to program and write all the laws of the universe because of course he has a computer he's god he even as a twitter account. how else is he supposed to talk to his followers ? so anyway he scrolls down his feed and notices this ad. its got a picture of a child who is badly ill and with the caption 1 like = 1 prayer.
he paused scrolling
"what the fuck?!"
the sheer absurdity of it all just hits him. using a child's illness to gather fake points on a second world that is a dark parody of his own perfect creation. wars famine poverty corruption ignorance and now this
hearing his outburst a flock of angels attend on him and he brushes them aside
"sod off you pigeons" he mutters angrily as he begins pacing back and forth in his room he is tempted to simply unleash a plague like the good old days.
his hand reaches for his book of plagues. when his archangel michael enters his room "my lord i sensed your rage"
"yeah yeah" God mutters
"may i ask what has upset you ?" michael asks he knew of god and his bad days or as most of his creation knew them the old testament just thinking about it made michael shudder.
"i am not upset i do not get upset and do not speak to me that way i am your god"
"well you seem upset.."
"i am not upset" god repeated "i am furious"
"ah i see. could i know what has upset you ?"
"its these me damned humans"
"what have they done this time"
god points at the screen of his computer "see for yourself"
michael looks at the screen for a few minutes "its a post asking for likes"
"thats not the bloody point i can stand a lot of what they do kids will be kids but this ? seriously ? why would they stoop so low for something that matters so little and has no value it makes me so angry sometimes...."
michael kept nodding and agreeing with him till god was done with his rant about how disappointing humanity is.
"but mi lord what can we do about it ? you yourself have decreed that no interference from heaven or hell may occur on earth till judgement day "
"i am tempted to just wreck the whole place may be a good earthquake or a nice little plague teach the little fuckers the value of human lives"
"i know you say that now but we both know you love those little monkeys and you'd never hurt them"
"yeah yeah i know mike "
god returns to his seat in front of his computer. "i just want them to see how awesome the world is and that they should be looking at each other with the same wonder i do when i see them sometimes i just think why not just make it so...."
michael heard god's voice trailing off and he knew what that meant. it was never good news ever when he has a new idea it usually involved a new rule that would be upsetting all the rest of the laws of the universe and the angels hated having to fix everything each time he invented a new law that made the universe more "interesting"
"i'm going to make it real. every like will be a prayer. and i will grant the prayer and wayy more than that..." he began typing furiously on his keyboard writing the lines of code that would make it so
"please dont do that..." michael started saying half heartedly but he knew that once he made up his mind god never changed
"on come on mike it will be fun" god said as he pressed execute
