text: God Remembers Cindy God asks the Man if he deserves to go to Hell. “Such a forward question.” Contemplated the Man. God urges him, “What did you do with my family’s gifts?” “Was a forgiven sin something I should’ve indulged?” Asked the Man. God fell silent. “Were the church’s totems redeemable?” The Man pressed. For he was beginning to realize, out of all the great things he had learned and accomplished, he did not lead a worthy life. Sure he had money and relished in the 20 year old women *well* into his later years. But what did he do to help his fellow man? Was there any occasional selfless acts he procured like the priests at the edge of his street? He occasionally helped people of a poor status, but only when cameras were keeping a well placed eye. “Do I deserve to go to Hell? No.” Said the Man hesitantly. He was ready to give whatever excuses if certain question’s came about. “Why do you think so?” Asked God. “I never killed anybody, and I never intentionally hurt a soul.” God looked at the Man and grimaced, for he knew the lies that would spill from his mouth. God motioned towards the boundless ocean they were standing upon. Two of Gods other creations rose from the water. The Man reacted with immediate execration; he screamed for he was in hysterics. These beings were of course, God’s angels. The angel closest to the man had several (8) eyes and they remained open since the dawn of the earth. She had neither legs or a head, instead there was a gaping hole in her chest where her eyes were held. The angels arms were nonexistent, yet the angel had hands. These hands were held in a palm side up position almost like she was expecting to be rewarded. The other angel had a buck’s head along with its antlers. Except there was no flesh, a prominent skeleton sat on his shoulders. There were two endless yellow pools where the eyes should have been, they were almost beautiful to look at. He would have been completely mesmerized had he not noticed the rest of his body. He had a long jaundiced body that ejected pools of black tar with vigor. He seemed to be breathing the tar back into his body. Everything about this angel was hypnotizing to the Man and the coldness in his chest grew with magnitude. They never looked away from the Man, neither did they react to his hysterics “Do not be afraid. These are my children, just as you are.” Stated God. God remembered a time, when the Man mentioned he read the Bible. The Man mentioned it at an office party, not fully aware the woman he was saying it to was catholic and had actually read the Bible. “What did you think about the angel’s description given by Daniel in Daniel 10:5-6?” God laughed to himself remembering how honest Cindy was to the Word of God. When it came to her religion, she had no reservations on the sound bites of fools. God’s head lowered in regret. “Take him from these gates.” He instructed to the angels. The Man began to beg, for he knew where we was being taken to. Each angel took a leg and the man fell through the water. God sat there motionless remembering all the times the Man committed a cardinal sin. This was a punishment the man deserved. The Man’s lungs filled with water, only now did he realize the water was abnormally dark. His eyes burned when they came into contact with the water. Lightning flashed continuously under the vast ocean. The Man realized the water was filled with other beings, watching the man. He gasped for air, allowing more water to seep in. They started to gain speed. Suddenly the water got warmer. *”This is it,”* he thought to himself *”I can feel us getting closer to Hell.”* he looked out towards the sea one more time. All he saw was a massive blue Iris peering back at him. He came upon the reason why the water was so tepid. **There was a monster with a mass big enough to give off its own heat to fully encapsulate the Man.** The Man couldn’t remember when he pissed his pants. He began to wonder why he hadn’t passed out from lack of oxygen. The Man began to work on a bigger idea: if he is dead, and if he can’t be put to sleep, then he will be fully conscious for whatever happens in Hell.
