First tentative scribblings to the short story Aborior

Times Read: 630


Synopsis:God's Test Planet (Aborior) is facing Armageddon. One man (X for now) who escapes life before this event comes to find the afterlife in chaotic disrepair. Trudging about in despair he stumbles upon a forgotten artifact of God and uses it to locate Him. X is told that God had forgotten about Aborior long ago and has since moved on to a new (allusions to Earth) project. X decides to return to his corner of the afterlife with the intent to bring things up to par with his new divine insight before the immanent mass arrival.











We look like potatoes. Especially that one, look, he's gone so far as to grow an extra set of 'eyes' (those nubs are far too underdeveloped to be considered ears). We even walk like potatoes, a lopsided roll rather than the easy glide a proper intelligent being should posses. God, it's a blessing that reproduction doesn't result from coupling, we'd be extinct by now. Hell, we all look so damned similar just think of the confusion that would cause in marital partnerships, the excuse "Honey, I thought he was you!" might actually fly. Thank you for that small miracle. Come to think of it, our Sprouting is eerily similar to that of potatoes. You've created a master race of Veggie People, Lord. Now I know why I detested eating greens as a sproutling, I subconsciously realized that they were a subspecies of my own!

X sighed before taking a tentative sip from the tepid coffee evaporating before him, consumed more hungrily by the air than him. Still lost in his idle ramblings to God, his eyes never left the picture window. He'd been people watching so long at his corner coffee shop that the remaining barista had already begun flickering the lights in impatience. Purely for his benefit as he was the last patron remaining.

Bah! 'People watching' my ass! Watching this lot is like peering at sperm through a microscope, all the specimen look the same! Meditation through repetition is more like it.

X rose to leave, taking his time and glaring at the barista.

This is definitely an interesting concept, I haven't really read anything like this before, and honestly I can't wait to read more. I already have some questions for you haha. I wish I could see this place/people the way that you see them...do they really look like potatoes? :)

I will be sketching out some illustrations to this one. And oh-so-much editing, I just reread this and the rhythm is horrible.
