Creation Myth

The Coconut of Time:

A creation myth by Rufus Seward and Noah P.

(Scribed by Oliver)

Back before there was time, the world was like this:

The god called Eternus controlled everything. Everything took forever to do. It took Cocus, the god of coconuts, forever just to throw a coconut, ‘til the end of the world just to throw one coconut! Even for regular people, things took forever. If you went for a walk, it took a billion years, and doing your homework took a billion years too. Whatever you were doing, you would always be doing with no beginning and no ending.

Then a god called Mestapoles came along. He wasn’t god of anything in particular yet, but he was very crafty and liked to invent things. He was the patron god of the Mestapolians who were trying to build him a temple so he would be favored; but, because of Eternus, building the temple was taking forever. Actually, the Mestapolians had always been building the temple and would always be building the temple without ever finishing it. Mestapoles wanted very much for them to finish it. He went to Eternus and argued with him, but Eternus would not change the laws of the world.

Mestapoles decided to invent something to help the Mestapolians. He made a ball of strong energy and swirled into it a lot of roman numerals, numbers, and letters. Then he looked among the Mestapolians and found someone that seemed to be just beginning a section of the temple. He took that image and put it in the ball and created beginnings. Then he looked at a Mestapolian woman who was giving birth, who had been giving birth forever really, but who had always seemed to be almost finished. He put this image in the ball and created endings. He then took the image of a dog running down the sidewalk and created faster, and the image of someone falling asleep and created slower. All this Mestapoles combined together and invented time.

Mestapoles took time and hid it in one of Cocus’ coconuts. He brought the coconut to Eternus and said “Here is a tasty coconut. Sorry for my earlier harshness.” When Eternus cracked open the coconut time flew out of it! He was very surprised and angry. Suddenly, the Mestapolians were able to begin things and end them! They quickly finished the temple and Mestapoles felt proud and honored by their offerings.

Now, all people can do things in their daily life faster or slower, so they can do the unpleasant things quickly and take their time with the fun things. Eternus is still alive, just not as effective. Some things still last forever, but not things you usually sense. Except for homework, that still lasts forever.

how long does it take someone to throw a potato at Axl Rose?

I would worship all this Cocus.

“Here is a tasty coconut. Sorry for my earlier harshness.”
