Heaven & Hell; And Everything in Between

 

God woke up. He noticed the left side of his bed was undisturbed. Cold. Untouched. His lover must not have come to bed last night.

God get out from his fluffy golden cloud bed. He reached for his white robe, put it on, then walked out of his bedroom.

God stood on the large verandah. Looking at the majestic view of Heaven. The beauty of the Garden of Eden. The shimmering lights reflected from the various streams of river. Each carrying its own flavour. It was the most perfect view. 

God stepped back inside. Looking for someone. Someone that should be in bed with him last night. 

God stopped in front of a closed door of a room. It was the study. Where the idea of Heaven was conceived. Without the ideas coming from this room, Heaven would probably just be a simple meadow. Still beautiful in its simplicity, but not as.

God thought to knock. But decided not to. He did not want to disturb the occupant. God pushed the door, careful not to make too much noise. Slowly, stealthily, God made his way inside.

The thick carpetted wood floor of the study was littered with scrolls. Hundreds of literature of different fields of science can be found on this floor alone. God thought about cleaning it up, but thought again not to. It’s a good point to clean after the job is done, not during. 

There, on the table, scribbling away, was Lucifer. The love of his life.

Lucifer was so absorbed in his work, that he did not notice God approaching him. He scribbled something, then checked the scroll. Then calculate something on the abacus. Back and forth and back again.

God was now at the side of Lucifer’s desk. His hands now carrying a tray full of breakfast. Consisting of a loaf of bread, thin slices of beef, turkey and pork, and a pot of tea. Still, Lucifer did not notice him. 

When Lucifer finally noticed God, he almost jumped from his seat.

“Deary me. God! You startled me!”

God smiled. “Sorry my love. Just bringing you breakfast.”

“What?! It’s morning already?”

God pointed at the window. ‘See those bright things coming through the light. Those are called daylights. We created them. It signifies the night is over. Recognized ‘em?”

Lucifer threw a quill at God, then laughed. The quill flew to God’s head like a super speed dart. God manage to catch it with ease.

God laughed along, then said. “So breakfast at the garden?” Lucifer smiled, then nodded.

“So, how’s it coming along?”

Lucifer layered the bread with lettuce, tomato, green peppers, all three types of meat, a thick slice of cheese, before placing the top bread.

“It’s done actually?”

God almost choked on his sandwich. “Then, why are you still in the study?”

“I just wanted to check again. The sizes, the energy globes, the distance from each other, the level of nuclear force of attraction. Everything need to be perfect.”

“Oh, okay then. Can’t wait to build it.”

Lucifer took a bite. “Wanna see?”

God’s eyes gleam with delight. “Pftt. What kind of question is that. Of course I do.”

“Okay then.” Lucifer created a holographic projection of the work he had done. And so, they spend their entire morning talking about it. The entire design of a new world.
