24. The Catastrophe

The gardener of the sky looked down at his creations.
He decided that he was finished with these lizards.
He was tired of them lording over the smaller animals.
He needed to prune the overgrowth back.
So he pointed down at North America.
A star fell from the sky.
Slamming into the earth.
Destruction rained down on the once mighty reptiles.
Shock waves ripped through the crust.
Burning dust and rock flew up into the atmosphere,
Rained back down,
As tsunamis stirred the oceans.
Volcanic and cosmic ash filled the skies
Blocking the sun.
The saurian empire fell.
With the last rays of light.
The cold grip of death
Slowly
Took
Hold
In the darkened world.

8. Oceans and Atmosphere

Rise!
Rise!
Rise up from deep within.
Create the large poisonous volume!
An invisible sea of gas!
Rise up!
Condense!
Form Clouds!
Fall!
Fall!
Fall as rain!
Down
Down
Down onto the sweltering red earth!
Collect into hot, boiling oceans of noxious chemicals
Passing through an electrifying atmosphere.
Crash!
Crash, waves, along the blackened shores of the new earth.
Let volcanoes dribble lava down into your valleys.
Rise again as steam.
Mix the cauldron of soup.
Get it nice and hot.
A dash of comets here.
A dash of meteors there
Bring in the new materials
Sprinkles of rain and lightning.
Simmer!
Simmer!
Boil!
Toil!
The green oceans separated and joined with quickly moving continents
Slowly churning the magic potion.
Add more ingredients.
Stir vigorously until it’s ready.
We will see what’s being made soon enough.
In the meantime get ready.
Soon something big will happen.
Slowly,
Slowly turn it down and watch as things churn and move and change.
You’ll see.
This special witch’s brew
Is for all of us.
It comes from the secret divine knowledge that created the universe.
Prepare the mud for life!
