There was never a beginning, and there shall never be an end.There is only One, and Now has been here just as long as One has.
When One and Now first laid eyes upon each other,there was instant love between them.They talked, creating a language as they went along,and then they began to dance. And as they talked and danced and loved, a great music arose and filled the emptiness around them,and out of that music came the sun and the moon, earth,and all creation.
There came the plants and the rivers; the mountains and the trees;the fish and the bugs;the whales and the dolphins;next,the animals and the humans,and the humans lived on earth and they made it their home.After the humans came the Winged,so called because of the great white pinions which sprouted from their shoulders.And after the Winged came Love, and Love was final.
Now and One were greatly pleased,but most by the Winged,and so to them they gave knowledge and power.But then Now saw how the people of earth were greatly wretched, living crudely with nothing good, and so Now said to the Winged "See how your brothers and sisters toil below; go to them and teach them how to live." And the Winged saw,and so they flew through the night and came to earth,and humanity fell before them and worshipped them as gods.So the Winged set them to working,building great palaces and temples in their honor, and humanity knew nothing.
Then One and Now saw how they had erred,for in giving the Winged knowledge and power,they had omitted wisdom.So One gave a flaming torch to Love and said,"Bear this to the men and women of earth,so that those with eyes might see." Love did so and gave it to the people, and the eyes of men and women were opened and they saw then how they had been used, and so there was war between humanity and the Winged, and Love fled in horror.
Then the mountains were shaken down and the forests leveled; the oceans boiled, and earth was covered with conflagrations,and men and women died in the millions,and the Winged were called back to be reprimanded,for One and Now were filled with disgust.

I really have to go!! I'll continue later.......

It should be pretty easy to see where I got this, so I probably won't bother to finish it.Would someone else like to add their own version of creation? Maybe stories about a made-up hero or she-rogoddess,ect.? Our own mythology?

There's gotta be at least one other person here who wants to dabble in creative writing,isn't there?
