The Word

how is the creation of heaven and earth coming, lord?
great, archangel. but I've been thinking.
yes?
I think I like the number 8 better than 7.
pardon me?
why should I rest on the 7th day? I'm not tired. find me something else to do.
well, er, what did you have in mind?
I don't know. how about a demolition derby? I like car crashes. let's do that.
but, lord. cars haven't been invented yet.
spare me the details, archangel. make it happen. make it. . . loud.
how loud?
like thunder.
thunder? what's that?
you'll see.
