So there i was, getting a glass of water at nearly 2 AM in the morning.
I probably should have been asleep, but sleep if for people who don't have gratuitous amounts of work to do, i needed to write 6 stories simutaneously up to a certain point each then get back to finding a local job opening that fit into my schedule and would actually hire.

Seems simple, till a rather adventurous fly buzzed by, see i'd decided to check the freezer for something to satisfy my sweet tooth, and this little fly flew right on in.

"you shouldn't go in there, it'll be trouble for both of us." but despite my warning it flew in anyway without hesitation, as if it had ignored me entirely.

It wasn't even 3 seconds, it flew in and just dropped out of the air, i fished it out holding it by it's wing, it wasn't very cold but it's body was frozen completly stiff within that course of about 3 seconds.

I ponder being flash frozen like that, it's one of the worst ways someone could die in my opinion, and near impossible to "barely survive" without serious permenant injury, i could only imagine something like the freezer being that deadly.

and so here i was, holding this likely dead and definately not moving fly.

I realised that at this moment, as insignificant as this tiny and now immobile bug is, that i was it's "God", infinitely larger, smarter, and all around superior. And it now lay in my hand, it's fate up to my decision almost without limit.

I could have washed it down the sink, flushed it down the latrine, heck i probably could have eaten it if i wasn't so dead set against that.

i could have slowly crushed it between my fingers, or finished it with the swatter nice and quick. any number of equally viable options to handle this insignificant lesser being who had ignored my very well intentioned advice, nay, deliberately disobeyed my godly command in the spirit of Eve herself.

But i already knew what i was going to do.

I opened the back door and gently set it down outside, in hopes that it may recover, and if not leaving it to Nature's whim.

After all, who am i to be angry? I am the superior being, i don't have anyway of knowing if something so far beneath me could hope to even realise i was attempting to communicate with it, much less communicate back. It was obvious to me, but perhaps such a lowly being couldn't even notice it,

Of course, for someone to take such meaning out of a dead fly is quite strange, but Too late for that, who said i was sane anyway?

I returned to bed, no sweets for me, and pondered just how much i missed from "God", assuming there is one, though i very much believe there is. Perhaps i had been told the secrets of the universe and simply could not understand. perhaps i'd been given the answer to all life's problems and been too insignificant to process that something was trying to tell me something.

Then it occursed to me i'd just fancied myself as "God" in a strange and very roundabout way, and i assured myself once more that i am surely going to Hell.  That's ok, i don't know anyone in Heaven anyway, and i'm sure even Jesus would get tired of my constant chatter and horribly bad jokes.

Tonight, i once again dream of another world, another time, wishing despreately my dreams were reality. maybe someday i'll make them a story, so they can at least become another universe.
i.. really dunno where this came from, but i figured i'd post it anyway.

something kinda different, something from my mind.

also a convient explanation for how i can be a character within my own stories.

ok , Im getting this out of the way first. I laughed when I read that you could have eaten the fly. ...

But besides that bit , This was very intresting. Looking at the flys point of veiw that is , and switching back to yours.

Ive thought of being the superior being to something before , but wouldn't make me the lesser being for thinking I am the superiour? Propably , although I didn't say I was , more thinking of if I could be.

Most of the time I think Im a character in someones bigger story or , possible , a character in a video game. :/

I think it could be possible somehow...but....People often disagree with me on that...
