How we made the monster

In the beginning, gods ruled the cosmos. These gods were gigantic, eternal titans who looked over the nothingness in the horizon and created a universe out of it, galaxy by galaxy. This stellar creation went on for aeons until one god intervened. His name was VV’ HYET. His rebellion against the gods for the throne reached the brink of cosmic destruction when the gods stopped him, stomped the rebellion and chained him up for his sentence. His punishment was to be crushed into minute, insignificant pieces and buried in the deepest crevices of a planet called Earth. The gods saw that their work in the creation of the universe was over, and went into their cosmic slumbers for quintillions to come.

After a few millennia, a species began to rise on planet Earth, called Homo Sapiens. This species soon became the tertiary consumers and dominant over other species on the planet. For a few thousand years, this species hunted and foraged for food, living like nomads. But with time, they discovered a plant that grew everywhere naturally and its powder was nourishing as well as easily accessible. They soon began to realize that they could grow the plant wherever they were settled. The plant was wheat.

Before they knew, whole farms of the plant began to bloom as they broke their backs taking care of it. They watered it, ploughed for it, and protected it from pests and diseases. In exchange, it gave them nourishment and energy for doing the same all over again. As time passed, wheat began to be processed in many other forms and incorporated itself into every aspect of human life.

One day, when humans were going about their businesses, something unbelievable happened. All the wheat in the world, be it in any form, bread, powder and liquid, began to rise and float up to the sky. Humans gaped in horror as the flying, wispy wheat began to converge and take up a form.

The form was of the banished god, and he rose seeing how he had manipulated a whole species for millennia for his return.

And then he sensed that the gods were asleep; a smile cracked slowly on his red lips.
