Rainbow Dust:

There was a lonely rainbow who lived in the ethers. Jehovah would call on him from time to time. Whenever He wanted to mark His covenant with the world. An ancient covenant. One of peace. One of love. Rainbow did not know much. What he did know was that wherever he went, a great calm, a great peace arose. As though some frustrating calamity had just taken place, one side of the sky was always, from beginning of time, dark and gloomy. Often the remnant trails of lightning streaks arched through these dark and disappearing clouds. Rainbow never got along well with Jehovah's rainclouds and thunderclouds. They seemed too mean for him. Besides, it seemed wherever he was sent, these clouds were running away. For a while, rainbow wondered about them. Did he say something to make them run away so quickly? But he recognized their inner tumult and thought it may be better this way. Rainbow liked to keep his peace. At all costs. Some of the places Jehovah sent rainbow to were filled with people. Oh! How rainbow loved people? How small and beautiful and precious they were? Rainbow loved it whenever these little people would gather together, sometimes on the bank of a river, other times on the crest of a waterfall, sometimes holding hands, other times holding one another, to watch rainbow. Oh! How special that made him feel? What rainbow knew was that every place he was sent, the little people in that area were gathered together in unity, in love, in peace, in friendship. Wherever he was sent, there was always some water nearby. Rainbow loved the water! He loved it when his body would feel the heat of the sun through the small beads of moisture in the air. How pleasant? It was as though rainbow understood what it meant to sunbathe! One day, rainbow was sent to a particular river over a small, central Ontario town, sent to display His glorious covenant, to illumine His peaceful will with these precious, little ones scattered across the globe. In this small, central Ontario town, there was a community. A beautiful community. Rainbow remembered it. He had visited her before. This day, the community had not gathered to see rainbow as they had in the past. As rainbow watched the shoreline, looking and searching for his friends, he saw only two, young people. They were a beautiful pair. It reminded him of his relationship with Jehovah. Rainbow stretched and stretched. Fascinated with the couple, he bent and pulled, trying to get a closer look. Finally, he broke free. As he wandered towarda them, he smiled a big, rainbow smile and puffed up his chest. They were indeed adoring rainbow. This made rainbow swoon in ecstacy. Rainbowcollected above the space they were standing and stayed there until something like luminescent pearls of moisture fell upon them. Rainbow dust! The couple smiled at eachother warmly and held hands. Rainbow glanced into the window behind them. He saw the rest of the community, all peering through the window. Smiling. Smiling.

Family Division:

Once upon a time, there was a family. This family was an ordinary family. A mother, a father and a couple of children. They were ordinary. That was until the birth of their third child, a son. The parents were not expecting to have another child so soon. And since they could not really afford this child, an extra mouth to feed, they resented him. They would constantly mistreat him and neglect him. And the family’s other two children imitated their parent’s hostility towards this child. The family watched with resentment as the young child grew, seemingly unaffected by this constant rejection and mistreatment. The child would simply glance over every instance of abuse that they would force in his direction. Instead, he seemed far more fascinated with the toys of his brother and sister. His parents never bought him toys. But every opportunity he had he would seek something productive to do. This child seemed to be growing, maturing much faster than any other normal child. He was walking ...

As the Racehorses Stampede

The fields were massive! Prairies of heavenly origin, spreading out from one direction to the other endlessly. The sky was illuminated by the walls of the glowing sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes, which were high up, high up in the sky. They lit up the known world just like a giant, giant star. Over the fields, breeze danced and played of heads of wheat and barley. These fields of golden grain danced and swayed to the rhythm of the gentles zephyrs, which played over them. Every so often, every so often, a massive procession of racehorses would stampede across the fields of the right ventricle. A stampede. Truly. Their hooves would shake the very ground of the world in which they lived. Nobody knew what caused the stampedes of racehorses. And surely, as soon as they had appeared, they would disappear again. Off and into the horizon of the purkinje fibres. Below the nodes' glow. Never, not even once had the locals had a chance to stop and question these interesting and curious c...

Stargull the Interstellar Seagull

Behold! This is the tale of Stargull, the interstellar seagull. A seagull with no hesitation. A seagull with no frustration. How could a seagull possibly be interstellar? Humanity has not even developed that sort of technology yet! Well, boys and girls, I tell you that you can surely believe me. I am a eyewitness. I'll tell you, years ago, Stargull took me on a trip. It's what I shall recount today. You see, Stargull was an ordinary seagull, cawing and flying about, looking for food near the beach. One day, he looked up in the sky and something like a piece of bread appeared, hanging there, suspended in the air, as if by God Himself. And so, hungry as he was, Stargull flew straight at it. He flew and he flew until he had no more to flew. Not even paying attention to the thinning air around him or the darkening air around him, he flew and he flew until he had no more to flew. Seemed as much as he flew, he never neared the piece of bread in the sky. But he was hungry! And so, he ...
