The Beast From The Air

  Simon saw a humped thing suddenly sit up on the top and look down at him. The flies had found the figure too. The life-like movement would scare them off for a moment so that they made a dark cloud round the head. Then as the blue material of the parachute collapsed the corpulent figure would bow forward, sighing, and the flies settle once more. Simon felt his knees smack the rock. He crawled forward and soon he understood. The tangle of lines showed him the mechanics of this parody; he examined the white nasal bones, the teeth, the colors of corruption. He saw how pitilessly the layers of rubber and canvas held together the poor body that should be rotting away. Then the wind blew again and the figure lifted, bowed, and breathed foully at him. Simon knelt on all fours and was sick till his stomach was empty.

God - You will have to give up your human appearance, your friends, your family.  You will be covered in fur and the entire world shall be your enemy.  You can no longer have a place in society and your trousers will need a hole in them for your tail.  Buck shall be thy teeth.  Are you truly ready for this change, my son? Me - Are we going to stand here yakking all day or do I get my deepest wish?  Your call, Sir. God - Impudent creature!  From now on you shall be hunted and preyed upon by The Thousand, and when they catch you they shall kill you.  But... first they must catch you.

God - Oy gevalt, such tsuris he is.  Feh. Illustration from The A...
